  • Rockets' Jabari Smith: Won't undergo surgery

    Rockets head coach Ime Udoka said Saturday that Smith will not have surgery on his fractured left hand, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Smith fractured his left hand on Jan. 3, which raised doubts about his return to the basketball court for the Rockets this season. Although electing not to have surgery on his hand could extend his recovery timeline, he is not expected to miss much more time than the original estimate of 4-to-8 weeks.

  • Rockets' Jabari Smith: Suffers broken hand

    The Rockets announced Friday that Smith broke his left hand in shootaround and will be re-evaluated in 4-to-6 weeks, Michael Shapiro of SI.com reports.

    Smith had yet to miss a game this season but will now be sidelined for an extended period as his broken left hand is expected to require surgery. Before his injury, the 21-year-old forward was averaging 11.9 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 30.9 minutes across 33 appearances. In Smith's absence, Tari Eason (lower leg), Amen Thompson (suspended), Cam Whitmore, Jae'Sean Tate and Jeff Green are all candidates to receive increased playing time.

  • Rockets' Jabari Smith: Efficient in limited minutes

    Smith totaled 12 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two steals and one block in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 110-99 win over the Mavericks.

    Smith was solid in limited playing time following a lackluster seven-point performance in Sunday's loss to the Heat. The third-year pro briefly exited to the locker room after he was hit in the face during the second quarter, though he was able to return for the start of the second half. The injury shouldn't affect his status for Friday's game against Boston. Over his last 10 outings, Smith has averaged 13.0 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.0 blocks across 33.6 minutes per contest.

  • Rockets' Jabari Smith: Quiet with seven points in loss

    Smith contributed seven points (2-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and three rebounds in 26 minutes during Sunday's 104-100 loss to the Heat.

    Smith continued his up-and-down campaign Sunday, bringing very little production to the box score during a weak shooting night from the field. Smith has notched double digits in points during seven of his last nine games, an interval where he's averaging 13.1 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.1 blocks and 1.9 threes in 34.7 minutes. The 2022 No. 3 overall pick has mostly failed to live up to the hype that made him a lottery selection, but head coach Ime Udoka has shown continued trust in Smith to handle plenty of minutes, likely enough to keep the 21-year-old big man floating around the top 100 for fantasy purposes going forward.

  • Rockets' Jabari Smith: Extends productive stretch

    Smith had 21 points (7-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 11 rebounds and two assists over 35 minutes during Monday's 114-101 win over the Hornets.

    Smith is going through his most productive stretch of the season and had another strong showing Monday, as he reached the 20-point mark just for the fourth time this season. The third-year forward is riding a streak of six games in a row with at least 13 points, hitting the 15-point mark four times and posting two double-doubles in that stretch. Smith is averaging 13.2 points, 7.7 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game since the beginning of December.

  • Rockets' Jabari Smith: Quality outing in win

    Smith totaled 15 points (6-11 FG, 3-8 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and two blocks in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 91-90 victory over the Warriors.

    Smith has now recorded double-digit points in back-to-back games. However, the 21-year-old forward's season averages of 11.6 points and 6.8 rebounds are down from 13.7 and 8.1, respectively, from last year.

  • Rockets' Jabari Smith: Double-double in Sunday's win

    Smith registered 13 points (4-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and one block in 34 minutes during Sunday's 117-106 victory over the Clippers.

    The double-double was the fourth of the season for Smith, and he recorded at least one rejection and one made three for the seventh straight contest. The third-year big remains somewhat inconsistent, but over that seven-game stretch, the 21-year-old is averaging 11.4 points, 8.3 boards, 2.3 threes, 2.1 blocks and 1.1 assists while shooting 42.1 percent (16-for-38) from beyond the arc but only 44.4 percent overall from the floor.

  • Rockets' Jabari Smith: Logs 15/14 double-double

    Smith contributed 15 points (6-15 FG, 3-9 3Pt), 14 rebounds and three blocks in 40 minutes during Sunday's 119-116 victory over the Thunder.

    Smith's results have been up and down, but the third-year pro has shown the ability to capitalize when game flow works in his favor. Although he has only three double-doubles this season, he's come tantalizingly close to the mark several times. Over 21 games, he's averaging 12.0 points, 6.8 rebounds and 0.8 assists.

  • Rockets' Jabari Smith: Efficient from field

    Smith produced 19 points (8-9 FG, 3-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 117-111 overtime win over Minnesota.

    This was one of Smith's most complete performances of the season as the Rockets picked up their third win out of their last four games. Smith is starting to turn the corner after a slow start to the season, averaging 15.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.3 blocks and 2.5 three-pointers over his last four outings.

  • Rockets' Jabari Smith: Shooting woes in loss Saturday

    Smith totaled 14 points (3-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and three blocks across 37 minutes during Saturday's 104-98 loss to the Trail Blazers.

    On the surface, Smith had a solid showing and finished just two boards away from a double-double. However, he continues to struggle with his shot. He's made four or fewer field goals in four of his last five games despite averaging 8.4 shot attempts per game in that stretch. Smith has a secondary role in the Rockets' offensive scheme, but his lack of efficiency certainly limits his upside.

  • Rockets' Jabari Smith: Efficient scoring in win

    Smith recorded 23 points (8-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds and one assist in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 130-113 victory over the Pacers.

    Smith was Houston's second-leading scorer behind Alperen Sengun in Wednesday's win. However, Smith has had a slow start to the season, converting just 31.5 percent of his 4.6 three-point attempts per contest.

  • Rockets' Jabari Smith: Best game of season Friday

    Smith finished Friday's 125-104 win over the Clippers with 28 points (11-17 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and two steals over 35 minutes.

    Smith posted a season-high scoring mark Friday, but it's hard to imagine him posting these numbers steadily. This was just the second time he reached the 20-point mark this season, and he's a low-level scoring option in an offensive scheme that also features Alperen Sengun, Fred VanVleet and Jalen Green. Smith is averaging just 11.8 points and 6.1 rebounds per game since the beginning of November.

  • Rockets' Jabari Smith: Modest output in loss

    Smith logged four points (2-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), one rebound and one block in 17 minutes during Friday's 126-107 loss to the Thunder.

    Smith's results have been confounding through the first three weeks of the season after widespread predictions of a breakout campaign. He's exceeded 20 points only once this season, and his totals have been peppered with four games in the single digits. He occasionally grabs enough rebounds to offset a poor scoring performance, but the drop-off is concerning. Increased volume beyond the arc seems to be key to his higher totals, and he's made only two shots from deep over the past two games.

  • Rockets' Jabari Smith: Lackluster performance in win

    Smith added seven points (3-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt), six rebounds and an assist across 22 minutes in Monday's 109-97 win over New York.

    Monday's game marked season lows in both minutes and points for Smith, following his season high in both categories the game prior. While he is averaging 12.6 points, 7.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.4 blocks over 31.0 minutes this season, it is definitely worth monitoring his consistency regarding his offensive production moving forward.
