Impact Finney-Smith offered very little Saturday, rounding out what has been a rough couple of months since arriving in Brooklyn. Despite making the playoffs, the Nets will certainly not be thrilled with how they ended the season. It is unclear exactly what direction they will take moving forward, although no matter the endpoint, Finney-Smith is unlikely to be anything more than a situational streaming option once the 2023-24 campaign tips off.

Upgraded to available Finney-Smith (wrist) is available for Friday's game against the Magic, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Impact As expected, Finney-Smith has been upgraded from probable to available and will suit up following a one-game absence due to a wrist injury. Over his past six appearances, the defensive-minded forward has averaged 10.2 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.0 blocks in 27.8 minutes per game.

Officially probable for Friday Finney-Smith (wrist) is listed as probable for Friday's game versus the Magic.
Impact Finney-Smith was unable to suit up Wednesday due to a bothersome wrist contusion, but it appears he's avoided serious damage and should retake his usual spot in the starting lineup Friday. The team should officially confirm his status ahead of the 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff.

Confident for Friday Finney-Smith (wrist) is "confident" he will play in Friday's game against the Magic, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Impact Finney-Smith sat out Wednesday's game against the Pistons with a bruised right wrist but should be able to suit up for Friday's contest. If he's a go, Royce O'Neale would likely slide back to the second unit, while Joe Harris and Yuta Watanabe could each see reduced roles.

Listed as questionable Finney-Smith is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pistons due to a right wrist contusion, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Impact Per Lewis, Finney-Smith's right wrist was already bothering him, and he fell on it during Tuesday's loss to Minnesota, which made the issue worse. If the defensive-minded forward is sidelined, Royce O'Neale and Yuta Watanabe would be candidates for increased roles.

Available to play Finney-Smith (wrist) will be available to play for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.
Impact Finney-Smith has been going through an awful shooting rut over the past three games, scoring a total of just 12 points while going 4-of-17 from the floor, and he hasn't offered many peripheral stats. He'll draw a difficult matchup against the Cavs on Tuesday evening, so it could be tough for him to turn things around.

Questionable Tuesday Finney-Smith is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers due to a right wrist contusion, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.
Impact Finney-Smith hasn't missed any games since Feb. 7, but he's dealing with a wrist issue ahead of Tuesday's matchup. The 29-year-old has been relatively cold recently, averaging 4.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 28.3 minutes per game over his last three appearances while shooting just 23.5 percent from the floor during that time. If he's sidelined Tuesday, Cameron Johnson and Royce O'Neale are candidates to see increased run.

Active day on defense Finney-Smith accumulated 15 points (5-8 FG, 5-7 3Pt), one assist, one block and four steals over 38 minutes during Sunday's 122-120 win over the Nuggets.
Impact The four steals were a season high for Finney-Smith, but he's had busy hands since joining the Nets, recording multiple pilfers in four of the last nine games. Over that stretch, the veteran forward is averaging 8.0 points, 4.2 boards, 2.0 assists, 1.8 threes and 1.3 steals.

Impact Finney-Smith went scoreless across limited action during Thursday's five-point loss to Milwaukee, as head coach Jacque Vaughn benched his starting five. The undrafted product out of Florida has struggled since joining the Nets, posting just 6.1 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.7 assists with 32/23/67 shooting splits, but he figures to see more minutes in future tilts.

Scores 17 points in win Finney-Smith totaled 17 points (6-15 FG, 5-11 3Pt), nine rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 38 minutes during Friday's 115-105 win over Boston.
