Dennis Smith Jr had just started to really figure things out.
The rookie PG was coming off a stretch of good games that had his coach raving about his improvements. His 14.4 ppg is second on the team behind Harrison Barnes, and his 4 assists per game are second to only JJ Barea. However, for the time being, that’s where they’re going to stay.
The former Wolfpack PG is going to miss at least the next 2 games with the Mavericks due to a hip injury that you might be able to blame on the media.
