Nets' Dennis Smith: Officially out
Smith (hip) won't play in Sunday's game against Sacramento, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Smith appears to have sustained a mid-day setback Sunday, as he earned a probable tag in the morning before being downgraded to doubtful and eventually getting ruled out. Dennis Schroder should see plenty of work at the point, while Cam Thomas, Lonnie Walker and Mikal Bridges could see more ball-handling duties.

Nets' Dennis Smith: Ruled out for Monday
Smith (hip) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Pacers, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Smith returned from a three-game absence Sunday against the Lakers but appeared to aggravate his hip injury, as he exited the contest with 2:49 remaining in the first quarter and didn't return. He'll be unavailable for the second half of the back-to-back set, and it's unclear whether he'll return to action in a rematch against Indiana on Wednesday.

Nets' Dennis Smith: Barely plays in return
Smith (hip) logged two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) in four minutes off the bench Sunday in the Nets' 116-104 loss to the Lakers.
Smith checked into the contest midway through the first quarter, but after heading to the bench with 2:49 remaining in the period, he never re-entered the game. The Nets didn't indicate that Smith suffered any sort of setback with his hip in his return from a three-game absence, so it's possible that interim head coach Kevin Ollie simply elected to keep the veteran guard out of his rotation for the entire second half. Given the uncertainty of his workload moving forward while the Brooklyn backcourt is at full strength, Smith doesn't look to be an interesting fantasy option outside of the deepest of leagues.
