Rockets' Jabari Smith: Ruled out for Sunday
Smith (rest) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Memphis.
Smith will take a seat for Houston's regular-season finale but should be good to go for the start of the postseason. The fourth-year forward has taken a step forward on the offensive end in the 2025-26 campaign and will finish the regular season with averages of 15.8 points, 6.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 0.9 blocks in 35.1 minutes per contest across 77 games.

Rockets' Jabari Smith: Drops 19 against Philly
Smith logged 19 points (7-15 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five rebounds and one block across 34 minutes during Thursday's 113-102 win over the 76ers.
The fourth-year forward continued a productive stretch to close out the regular season. Smith has scored at least 12 points in nine straight games, averaging 18.2 points, 7.8 boards, 3.1 threes, 1.8 assists and 0.9 blocks over that stretch as the Rockets try to climb past the Lakers and Nuggets for the third seed in the Western Conference.

Smith chipped in 20 points (6-18 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block over 39 minutes during Tuesday's 119-105 victory over the Suns.
Smith stretched the floor with an excellent perimeter shot during the win, drilling five of his six successful shot attempts from long range. He was less effective scoring inside, but he still managed six boards against the Suns, who were dominated off the glass.

Rockets' Jabari Smith: Flirts with double-double in win
Smith amassed 23 points (9-12 FG, 5-7 3Pt), nine rebounds and one assist over 32 minutes during Sunday's 117-116 victory over the Warriors.
Smith finished one rebound shy of a double-double in the dramatic victory. He distinguished himself as a perimeter threat Sunday with five triples, matching his third-highest total of the season in the category. The fourth-year pro averages 6.2 attempts from long range this season, which is quite high for his position. Smith's result continues a nice five-game streak of 20-plus point totals.

Rockets' Jabari Smith: Not listed on injury report
Smith (face) is not being listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's meeting with the Warriors.
Smith was forced out of Friday's win over the Jazz after taking a shot to the face, but it doesn't appear he'll be spending any additional time on the sidelines. Smith is averaging 15.6 points, 6.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 2.2 triples, 0.8 steals and 0.9 swats per game this season.

Rockets' Jabari Smith: Exits early Friday
Smith (face) exited Friday's 140-106 win over the Jazz in the third quarter and did not return, finishing with 18 points (6-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one steal across 24 minutes.
Smith took a shot to the face in the third quarter and exited to the locker room. He joined his teammates on the bench shortly thereafter, though it's unclear if he was available to return to the blowout win. His status will be worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's game against the Warriors.

Rockets' Jabari Smith: Leaves for locker room
Smith exited to the locker room in the third quarter of Friday's game against the Jazz due to an apparent facial injury, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
Smith took a shot to the face and checked out with 5:54 remaining in the third before eventually heading back to the locker room. The 22-year-old power forward can be considered questionable to return until more information comes to light.

Rockets' Jabari Smith: Hits for 20 points in win
Smith closed with 20 points (7-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 33 minutes during Sunday's 134-102 win over the Pelicans.
Smith has reached the 20-point mark in back-to-back games for the first time since doing so Feb. 21 and Feb. 23. Even though he plays a secondary role on the Rockets' offensive scheme, Smith has posted solid numbers when given enough touches. This 20-point effort means he's scored in double digits in all but one of his last 12 games, a stretch in which he's averaging 17.2 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.4 assists per contest.

Rockets' Jabari Smith: Double-doubles in win
Smith totaled 21 points (7-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-8 FT), 16 rebounds, four assists and one block over 37 minutes during Friday's 119-109 win over the Grizzlies.
Smith dominated the glass and notched his second straight double-double, as he helped the Rockets hit the brakes on a two-game skid. Smith will look to keep the good times rolling Sunday in New Orleans.

Rockets' Jabari Smith: Secures rare double-double

Rockets' Jabari Smith: Nets 23 points with full line
Smith logged 23 points (7-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 6-8 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and two steals over 35 minutes during Friday's 117-95 victory over the Hawks.
This was Smith's second straight game with three triples, and he also snapped a two-game steal-less streak in the win. The fourth-year forward is hitting career highs in points (15.5), triples (2.2) and assists (1.8) per game this season, and he's been a steady top-75 player all year long.

Rockets' Jabari Smith: Scores team-high 22 points
Smith accumulated 22 points (9-17 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and one block across 40 minutes during Monday's 100-92 loss to the Lakers.
Smith assumed a larger role in the frontcourt during the loss, absorbing Alperen Sengun's (back) lost output. Smith's frame and skill set would be enough to play the five on almost any other team in the league, but Sengun's presence has limited his ability to embrace that kind of role. Smith is still having a great fourth season in his role, averaging 15.5 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists over 63 games.

Smith has scored in double digits in his last four games since returning from a one-game absence on March 6 due to a right ankle sprain. The forward, who has managed to secure a steady role in the starting lineup, is averaging 16.2 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game since the All-Star break.

Rockets' Jabari Smith: Puts up 23 points Tuesday
Smith chipped in 23 points (8-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 113-99 victory over the Raptors.
Smith scored at least 20 points for the first time since Feb. 23 on Tuesday. The fourth-year big man is cooling down a bit overall after a hot stretch in February, with Smith averaging 13.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.0 three-pointers in 34.0 minutes per game over his last five contests.

Rockets' Jabari Smith: Off injury report
Smith (ankle) is not on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Spurs.
Smith did not play in the back leg of the Rockets' back-to-back set against the Trail Blazers on Friday due to a right ankle sprain. The 2022 first-rounder isn't listed on the injury report, which means Reed Sheppard will likely revert to a bench role for Sunday's contest.

Rockets' Jabari Smith: Ruled out Friday
Smith (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Portland.
Smith will miss the second leg of this back-to-back set due to a right ankle sprain, and his next opportunity to play will come Sunday in San Antonio. With the 22-year-old forward sidelined, Reed Sheppard will likely return to the starting five, while Dorian Finney-Smith and Josh Okogie are also candidates to see increased playing time.

Rockets' Jabari Smith: Questionable for Friday
Smith (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Smith logged a heavy 42-minute workload in his return from a two-game absence Thursday, though he struggled significantly with his shot, finishing 0-for-8 from the floor. While the heavy minutes suggest the Rockets aren't overly concerned with the long-term health of his right ankle, the quick turnaround for the second half of a back-to-back has placed his availability in doubt. If Smith is ultimately held out to manage the injury, Reed Sheppard and Josh Okogie would likely see increased roles in the rotation.

Rockets' Jabari Smith: Logs big minutes in return
Smith (ankle) registered three points (0-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 42 minutes Thursday in the Rockets' 115-113 overtime loss to the Warriors.
Though Smith couldn't get any shots to fall in his return from a two-game absence, the heavy minutes he received are an indication that the Rockets aren't concerned about the health of his right ankle moving forward. The poor shooting performance should be viewed as an outlier for Smith, who had hit double figures in the scoring column while converting at a 55 percent clip from the field and 45.1 percent clip from downtown over his previous 13 appearances.

Rockets' Jabari Smith: Listed questionable for Thursday
Smith (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Warriors.
Head coach Ime Udoka said after Wednesday's practice that Smith is on track to play Thursday, but the Rockets may want to see Smith go through morning shootaround before confirming his availability. If Smith is able to return from a two-game absence, Reed Sheppard would likely revert to a bench role.

Rockets' Jabari Smith: Set to return Thursday
Rockets head coach Ime Udoka said that Smith (ankle) practiced Wednesday and is expected to play Thursday against the Warriors, Varun Shankar of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Smith looks poised to play after missing the Rockets' previous two games due to a right ankle sprain. With Amen Thompson (ankle) also likely to return to action, the Rockets are expected to move Reed Sheppard back to the bench.
