Recalled by Milwaukee Milwaukee recalled Smith from the G League's Wisconsin Herd on Tuesday.
Recalled to NBA Milwaukee recalled Smith from the G League's Wisconsin Herd on Sunday.
Impact Smith has consistently floated between the NBA and G League this season, but most of his game reps have been with the Herd.
DECEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Won't play Tuesday Smith (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Heat.
Impact Smith won't suit up while dealing with a non-COVID illness. The rookie's absence shouldn't cause any waves in the rotation as he has yet to surpass double-digit minutes through nine regular-season outings.
NOVEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE
Iffy for Tuesday Smith (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Miami.
Impact Smith isn't typically in the rotation for the Bucks, so his status won't impact many fantasy leagues.

Recalled from G League Smith was recalled from the Bucks' G League affiliate Saturday.
Impact Smith was seemingly called back up to the Bucks ahead of Tuesday's game against the Heat. The rookie forward appeared in Saturday's 86-77 G League win over the Windy City Bulls before being promoted to the parent club in Milwaukee, during which he posted 14 points (4-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two steals and a block across 29 minutes.
NOVEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE
Back to G League The Bucks assigned Smith to their G League affiliate Wisconsin Herd on Saturday.
Impact Smith has bounced back and forth between the NBA and G League this season, though he hasn't logged a minute with the Bucks since Nov. 12. The 2024 second-round draft pick should play a featured role with the Herd.
NOVEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
Recalled from G League Friday Smith was recalled from the Bucks' G League affiliate Friday.
Impact Smith will rejoin the Bucks ahead of their game against the Pacers on Friday. The rookie hasn't played in the club's last four outings, and he has averaged 2.5 points across 3.6 minutes per game in eight regular-season appearances.
NOVEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE
Recalled to NBA Milwaukee recalled Smith from the G League's Wisconsin Herd on Tuesday.
Impact Smith was able to get some quality minutes Tuesday against the Skyforce, logging 12 points, seven rebounds, four assists and one steal across 33 minutes. Now that he's back with the Bucks, he's not a lock to crack the rotation.
NOVEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE
Scores 10 points in blowout Smith posted 10 points (4-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and two blocks in eight minutes during Friday's 116-94 loss to the Knicks.
Impact During Friday's blowout, Smith took advantage of his opportunity and set season highs in points, rebounds, blocks and minutes played. He's appeared in seven of Milwaukee's first nine games, but this was the first time he played more than five minutes.
NOVEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE
Back to bench Smith won't start Wednesday's regular-season opener against the 76ers.
Impact With most of Milwaukee's regular resting, Smith drew a spot start during the preseason finale. However, aside from Khris Middleton (ankle), the Bucks are healthy, so Smith isn't guaranteed playing time against Philadelphia.
OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
Grabs 10 rebounds in big loss Smith posted seven points (3-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt) and 10 rebounds across 17 minutes in Thursday's 109-84 preseason loss to the Mavericks.
Impact The 33rd overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft had some notable moments and looked active on the glass, pacing the team in that category. Don't expect him to carve a regular rotation role once the 2024-25 regular season rolls around, though, and it wouldn't be surprising if he starts the season in the G League instead of being part of the NBA roster.
OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE
Gets starting nod Thursday Smith is in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the Mavericks.
Impact The Bucks are resting most of their regulars for the preseason finale, meaning Smith will get the chance to impress the coaching staff. Smith was the 33rd overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft.
OCTOBER 17 • ROTOWIRE
Signs on with Milwaukee Smith signed a four-year, $7.9 million contract with the Bucks on Friday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Impact According to Scotto, only the first two seasons of the deal are guaranteed, while the third year is non-guaranteed and the fourth year is a team option. The No. 33 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, the 19-year-old Smith was one of the few bright spots of G League Ignite squad that went 2-32 during the 2023-24 season. The 6-foot-9 forward appeared in 43 total games between the regular season and G League Showcase Cup, shooting 47.4 percent from the field and 36 percent from three-point range while averaging 13.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.3 triples, 1.0 blocks and 0.8 steals in only 22.2 minutes per contest. Smith will likely be on the outside looking in for a spot in the Milwaukee rotation heading into training camp, but on a Bucks team that's lacking in quality frontcourt depth, it wouldn't be surprising if he plays meaningful minutes at some point during his rookie season.
