Dennis Smith Jr. News, Rumors, Updates - Brooklyn Nets

Scores eight points in return Smith registered eight points (3-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 18 minutes during Monday's 121-115 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Smith missed each of Charlotte's previous 18 games due to an ankle injury, so it's not surprising that he was limited to 18 minutes Monday. The sixth-year pro struggled with his shot and committed three fouls in his limited court time, though that's understandable given the long layoff. Smith was working as the Hornets' staring point guard earlier in the campaign, but those days are numbered now that LaMelo Ball is back in action.

Available to return Monday Smith (ankle) is available for Monday's contest against the Lakers, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact After missing Charlotte's past 18 contests, Smith is officially available to make his return to the team's lineup. The 25-year-old guard was productive for the Hornets earlier this season, averaging 9.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.8 steals over his first 15 showings of the year. It would not be surprising to see Charlotte ease Smith back into the lineup, making him a riskier fantasy option to trust Monday.

Questionable to play Monday Smith (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Lakers.

Impact While there's no clarity on whether Smith will be available or not, this is a step in the right direction for the floor general after not appearing in each of the Hornets' last 18 games. Even if he does return to action, his fantasy appeal should be minimal, both due to the presence of LaMelo Ball in the lineup and also due to the rust that comes associated with not stepping on a basketball court since Nov. 23.
