Marcus Smart has yet to make his preseason debut for the Memphis Grizzlies, due to an abdominal injury. Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins said that abdominal soreness has dissipated, and now it’s about ramping Smart up for the regular season. That process includes Smart potentially making his Grizzlies debut in Friday’s preseason finale.
Smart was traded to Memphis from the Boston Celtics this summer in a three-team trade that involved the Washington Wizards. Memphis is counting on Smart to fill in at the point guard position, while Ja Morant serves a 25-game suspension to open the season. Smart will then shuffle to the wing, to help replace Dillon Brooks, who signed with the Houston Rockets.
