Dennis Smith Jr.'s Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Brooklyn Nets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (hip) won't play in Sunday's contest against the 76ers. He's missed plenty of time throughout the 2023-24 campaign because of a hip issue, so his absence for the regular-season finale doesn't surprise anyone. But by all accounts, the 2017 No. 9 overall pick had a decent season, averaging 6.6 points, 3.6 assists, and 1.2 steals. Dennis Schroder (Achilles) also won't play, meaning Jacob Gilyard could get the start. However, he struggled in Friday's loss to the Knicks, which won't increase his DFS stock on Sunday.

Brooklyn Nets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (hip) has been ruled out for Friday's meeting with the New York Knicks. He has missed the previous five games due to right hip inflammation and will be forced to sit out another matchup. Smith is having a tough end to the season and only has one more chance to return to the court on Sunday, as Brooklyn takes on the Philadelphia 76ers in the final game of the year. The backup point guard's absence will likely lead to heavy minutes for Cam Thomas and Dennis Schroder.

Brooklyn Nets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (hip) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's contest against the Detroit Pistons. He will likely miss his third straight game because of a right hip injury. Smith Jr. last appeared on March 31 against the Los Angeles Lakers, but he only took the court for four minutes after appearing to reaggravate his hip. The backup guard will likely not take the court on Saturday, and it is uncertain how soon he can return to action. While sidelined, Lonnie Walker IV could see more playing time to help support starting point guard Dennis Schroder.
