Report: Nets sign G Malachi Smith to second 10-day contract
The Brooklyn Nets signed guard Malachi Smith to a second 10-day contract, according to a report from HoopsHype's Michael Scotto on Wednesday.
Brooklyn Nets guard Malachi Smith got his first opportunity to play at the NBA level when the Nets signed him to a 10-day contract two weeks ago to bolster the backcourt depth. Despite the rough start to his tenure in Brooklyn, Smith has found his stride as of late and now, the team is rewarding him with a chance to continue building on his rookie campaign. The Nets signed Smith to a second 10-day contract, according to a report from HoopsHype's Michael Scotto on Wednesday, prior to a matchup at the Golden State Warriors.
Now that Smith remains on the Nets' roster, he should be good to play until Apr. 4 when he presumably would have to sign a deal for the rest of the season which ends for Brooklyn on Apr. 12.
Smith, 26 , is having a solid start to his NBA career as he's averaging 6. 2 points, 2. 2 rebounds, and 2.
7 assists per game while shooting 50. 0% from the field and 50. 0% from three-point land.
