Rockets' Marcus Smart: Iffy for Monday
Smart (forearm) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Hawks.
Smart is in jeopardy of missing a second consecutive contest due to a left forearm strain. If the veteran guard is ultimately ruled out, Reed Sheppard and Bogdan Bogdanovic would be candidates to see an uptick in minutes.

Rockets' Marcus Smart: Late addition to injury report
Smart (forearm) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Hawks.
The veteran guard was a late addition to the injury report due to a left forearm strain. Both Smart and Reed Sheppard (knee) are in jeopardy of joining Fred VanVleet (knee/rest) on the inactive list for the second leg of this back-to-back set, so Bogdan Bogdanovic and Bruce Thornton could see increased playing time.

Rockets' Marcus Smart: Provides spark in win
Smart recorded 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 128-110 victory over the Mavericks.
Smart provided an offensive spark in his regular-season debut with the Rockets, leading the second unit in scoring while finishing as one of five Rockets players to score in double figures. The veteran guard will likely play a steady role off Houston's bench this season and is in line to start when Fred VanVleet sits, per Will Guillory of The Athletic.

Rockets' Marcus Smart: Back to bench
Smart will come off the bench in Thursday's preseason game against the Thunder, Jackson Gatlin of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Smart drew an opportunity to start in Sunday's exhibition, finishing with 20 points in 24 minutes. He'll retreat to a bench role Thursday with the usual starting five getting one final dress rehearsal before the start of the regular season.

Rockets' Marcus Smart: Scores 20 points vs. Dallas
Smart finished with 20 points (7-13 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, four assists and a block across 24 minutes in Sunday's 132-115 preseason loss to the Mavericks.
Smart delivered a strong offensive performance and led all Houston players in scoring -- and it's worth noting each starter played over 20 minutes, so the Rockets are ramping up the workload for their rotation members. Smart is likely to open the season as a bench option but should handle sizable minutes because of his elite defense, three-point shooting and energy off the bench. This was an encouraging performance, but don't expect Smart to hover around the 20-point mark consistently once the regular season begins Oct. 21 in a rematch against Dallas.

Rockets' Marcus Smart: Takes night off
Smart (coach's decision) did not play during Friday's 135-117 preseason win over the Mavericks.
Smart, Clint Capela and Jae'Sean Tate all took a seat for the preseason opener, but there were no reported injuries. Smart has played nearly 700 career regular-season games and spent multiple years in Boston under now-Rockets head coach Ime Udoka, so the veteran point guard likely doesn't need many preseason minutes to get acquainted with his new squad.

Rockets' Marcus Smart: Joining Houston
Smart agreed to a two-year, $13 million contract with the Rockets on Wednesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
With LeBron James expected to leave the Lakers, Smart declined his $5.4 million player option that would have kept him in Los Angeles for 2026-27 and will instead join Ime Udoka, who coached Smart for one season in Boston. That year, Smart won Defensive Player of the Year, and the Celtics reached the NBA Finals. Last regular season, the veteran guard averaged 9.3 points, 3.0 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 28.5 minutes per game over 62 appearances (54 starts). Smart figures to play a complementary role in Houston's backcourt, with Fred VanVleet (knee) working his way back to full strength.

Due to the absence of Luka Doncic (hamstring), Smart played a massive role in the postseason for the Lakers. As for the regular season, injuries limited Smart to 62 appearances. In those games, he shot 39.5 percent from the field with averages of 9.3 points, 3.0 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 28.5 minutes per contest.
