Marcus Smart Embraces 'Swiss Army Knife' Role for Lakers

Lakers guard Marcus Smart, who calls himself a "Swiss Army knife," is adjusting to a bench role after starting nine straight games before LeBron James' return. He played a season-low 17 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Jazz, contributing five points and three rebounds, earning praise from Coach Redick. Smart also reached the semifinals of a team pickleball tournament but expressed caution about avoiding injuries, stating, "The last thing I need to get out and do is roll my ankle trying to play pickleball."
