Officially cleared
Smart (ankle) is active and will come off the bench Wednesday versus the Lakers, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
Analysis
Smart's clearance comes as expected after it was reported earlier Wednesday that he was on track to play. It'll be a boost for the Grizzlies, who are tied for fourth in the Western Conference with seven wins -- the majority of which have come without Smart. Smart should slot back into a 20-to-25 minute role immediately, although he's averaging just 7.0 points on 23.5 percent shooting across his four healthy contests this year.

Set to play Wednesday
Smart (ankle) remains listed as questionable but is on track to play in Wednesday's game against the Lakers, Shams Charania reported on ESPN's "NBA Today" program.
Analysis
Expect the Grizzlies to officially clear Smart to play ahead of the 10 p.m. ET tipoff after the veteran guard had missed the last six games with a right ankle sprain. Before suffering the injury, Smart had started in each of the Grizzlies' first five games and averaged 5.6 points, 2.8 assists, 2.2 rebounds, 1.2 steals, 0.6 three-pointers and 0.6 blocks in 19.6 minutes. Given that he's making his return from an injury, Smart could be limited to around 20-to-25 minutes Wednesday, though head coach Taylor Jenkins hasn't specified that the 30-year-old will be subject to a restriction. Once he's further removed from the ankle sprain, Smart could make a push for a regular 30-minute role while the Grizzlies are without two of their other backcourt starters in Ja Morant (hip) and Desmond Bane (oblique).

Questionable for Wednesday
Smart (ankle) has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers.
Analysis
Smart has missed the last six games due to his ankle injury, but seems to be on track to play soon. His return will be very much welcomed byh the Grizzlies, as they will already be without starters Ja Morant (hip) and Desmond Bane (oblique). However, if Smart can not play Wednesday, Luke Kennard and Jaylen Wells will likely see extended minutes for at least Wednesday's contest.

Won't play Sunday
Smart (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis
Smart will miss a sixth straight game due to a right ankle sprain he suffered Oct. 30 against the Nets. His next chance at playing will be Wednesday against the Lakers. Scotty Pippen and Jaylen Wells will continue to see increased playing time with Smart sidelined.

Doubtful for Sunday
Smart (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against Portland, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
Analysis
Smart has missed the Grizzlies' last five regular-season games after spraining his right ankle against the Nets on Oct. 30. He was considered week-to-week when initially diagnosed, and while he's unlikely to play Sunday, he could return as soon as Wednesday against the Lakers. In the four games prior to the injury, Smart averaged 7.0 points, 3.3 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.5 steals over 23.0 minutes.
