AutoDraft Pro AI

Jabari Smith did not return to Thursday's game against the Magic after suffering a right ankle injury at the 1:42 mark of the fourth quarter. He appeared to roll his ankle when stepping on Alperen Sengun's foot. Smith finished with 13 points (6-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt), one rebound, and one assist in 29 minutes during the 113-108 win. He will undergo further tests to determine the severity, putting his availability for Saturday's game against the Heat in jeopardy. Josh Okogie, Reed Sheppard, and Dorian Finney-Smith are candidates for increased roles if Smith misses time.
