Smith played in the regular season finale after missing the previous game with an ankle injury. He is back on the injury report after scoring a career-high 20 points against the Pistons.

Smith has not been in the rotation this season, and that isn’t going to change during the playoffs. But give the rookie credit for staying ready for his moment, which presented itself on Sunday.
