Smith sustained a left groin injury during training camp that will cause him to miss Sunday's preseason opener against the Knicks, and he is set to be reevaluated in one week.
Smith sustained the injury near the end of training camp, and it is unclear whether he will be back for Opening Night of the regular season. The 20-year-old is coming off a decent but somewhat inconsistent rookie season, during which he averaged 5.9 points, 1.4 rebounds and 1.2 assists across 14.3 minutes per game in 51 regular-season outings. If Smith is out for an extended period of time, KJ Simpson and Vasilije Micic are both candidates to pick up minutes off the bench.
