Marcus Smart of the Los Angeles Lakers has been sidelined for six consecutive games due to an ankle injury sustained when Goga Bitadze fell on him. Initially considered day-to-day, Smart’s condition has not improved, but head coach JJ Redick reported that he participated in an on-court workout and could return as soon as Sunday against the Dallas Mavericks. The Lakers have benefited from a winning streak, allowing for a cautious approach to Smart’s recovery. With the playoffs approaching, his return is crucial for regaining game readiness.
