Smart (undisclosed) won't play in Saturday's preseason game against the Bulls, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.
Head coach Taylor Jenkins confirmed Smart's absence for this preseason contest, though he didn't mention whether the reason behind his absence is rest or a minor injury. Smart's next chance to play will come against the Pacers on Monday, but the veteran guard is likely targeting to be healthy for the regular-season opener against the Jazz on Oct. 23.
