Drops 16 points in return
Smith (calf) registered 16 points (5-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and one assist in 20 minutes during Tuesday's 131-115 loss to the Bucks.
Анализ
After missing the prior two games due to a calf issue, Smith rejoined the lineup and scored in double digits in his 11th straight appearance (eight starts). Over that 11-game stretch, the 25-year-old big man is averaging 13.3 points, 8.4 boards, 2.3 three-pointers, 1.3 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.5 blocks in 27.0 minutes. With Nikola Vucevic shipped out to Boston on Tuesday, Smith looks like he'll be locked in as the Bulls' starting center for the rest of the season, barring Chicago making other additions at the position ahead of Thursday's trade deadline.

Cleared to play
Smith (calf) is available for Tuesday's game against the Bucks.
Анализ
Smith's availability was in question due to cramping in his right calf, but he's been given the green light to take the court Tuesday. He's expected to be held around the 20-minute mark, but that could change depending on how he feels at halftime, per K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network. Smith is averaging 13.6 points and 7.2 rebounds in his previous five appearances.

Iffy for Tuesday
Smith is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bucks due to right calf cramping.
Анализ
Smith is in danger of missing a third consecutive contest with the issue. If the big man remains out, Lachlan Olbrich should step into the backup center role behind Nikola Vucevic, but the former wouldn't carry much fantasy appeal in that spot.

Not playing Sunday
Smith (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Miami.
Анализ
Smith will end up missing both of Chicago's weekend games against Miami while nursing a right calf injury, and his next chance to play is Tuesday against Milwaukee. The Bulls are getting back Nikola Vucevic (rest) for Sunday's contest, but Patrick Williams -- who started Saturday -- should see a fair amount of minutes in Smith's absence.

Ruled out Saturday vs. Miami
Smith (calf) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Heat.
Анализ
Smith injured his right calf during the Bulls' 116-113 loss to Miami on Thursday, which will prevent him from playing in Saturday's contest. Nikola Vucevic (rest) is listed as doubtful for the contest, so the Bulls will have to lean on Lachlan Olbrich and Patrick Williams in Smith's absence. Smith's next chance to play is Sunday's rematch with the Heat.

Questionable for Saturday
Smith (calf) is questionable for Saturday's game in Miami.
Анализ
Nikola Vucevic (rest) is slated to sit out Saturday's game, so Smith will likely be starting if he's cleared. Check back for another update on Smith closer to Saturday's tip.

Won't return due to calf injury
Smith will not return to Thursday's game against the Heat due to right calf tightness.
Анализ
Smith's night will end with 11 points (4-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and five rebounds (three offensive) over 15 minutes in the first half. Patrick Williams should see a significant increase in minutes off the bench for the second half in Smith's absence.

Back in starting lineup
Smith is in the Bulls' starting lineup against the Heat on Thursday.
Анализ
Smith will make his 10th start of the season Thursday (and sixth in seven games) while Josh Giddey (hamstring) sits out of the second leg of the Bulls' back-to-back set. Smith has averaged 12.6 points, 9.1 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 2.1 threes, 0.8 blocks and 0.7 steals in 27.8 minutes per game over his last 10 outings (six starts).

Available to play
Smith (calf) is available for Thursday's game versus the Heat.
Анализ
Smith is dealing with some minor soreness in his right calf, but he'll power through it and get out there for Thursday's match. Smith has been playing well in January, posting averages of 12.2 points, 8.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.9 triples and 1.0 blocks per contest.

Probable for Thursday
Smith is probable for Thursday's game against Miami with right calf soreness.
Анализ
For now, the expectation is that Smith will push through this injury for the second leg of this back-to-back set. During Wednesday's game against the Pacers, Smith fared well with 13 points, 11 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 28 minutes.
