Smart returned to action after missing more than a month due to a finger injury. The rust was obvious as Smart missed all six of his shot attempts, playing a limited role off the bench.

The Grizzlies are trading Marcus Smart and a 2025 first-round pick to the Wizards in a multi-team deal that will see Memphis acquire a pair of second-round picks.
