Ish Smith (shoulder surgery) could make his Magic debut on Wednesday, but he's more likely to wait until Friday's preseason finale.

"I'm not 100 percent, but I'm very close," Smith said. "I don't know about [Wednesday] because I need a little more practice time, but it's close." Unfortunately for Smith, he may have slipped behind converted SG E'Twaun Moore on the depth chart, thanks to a strong preseason from Moore.

Ish Smith (shoulder) said that he's gotten his range of motion back following surgery.

Smith is not expected to participate in training camp at all, so he's still a ways out in terms of his recovery. When he's ready to return, Smith will serve as a backup at point guard behind Jameer Nelson.

Ish Smith (shoulder surgery) is expected to miss training camp.

Smith was re-signed by the team in mid-August, and it's not clear when he sustained the shoulder injury. Regardless, Smith is expected to miss training camp and the Magic will roll with a heavy dose of Jameer Nelson at the point.

Magic re-sign G Ishmael Smith.

Orlando was looking for depth at PG behind Jameer Nelson and will bring back a familiar face as a result. Smith averaged 2.3 points and 1.6 assists on 37.3 percent shooting with the club last year. He won't have fantasy value without an injury to Nelson.

Jameer Nelson left Sunday's game after two minutes, resulting in more action for backups Ish Smith (six points, two assists in 21 minutes) and Chris Duhon (three points, three assists in 25 minutes).

The Magic are in a world of trouble without Nelson, Dwight or Hedo. To their credit they aren't whining or quitting or blaming each other, but they'll need more than good vibes to get past a first-round matchup with the Pacers.

Ishmael Smith made his Magic debut on Friday, playing nine minutes with two points on 1-of-2 shooting, two rebounds, four assists, and one steal in nine foul-plagued minutes.

Yes, Ish managed to rack up five fouls in just nine minutes, and that's going to be an outlier. Jameer Nelson sounds like he could be back on Monday, and if the Magic need a jumpstart at the PG position we wouldn't be surprised to see Smith get an opportunity down the road. For fantasy purposes, he's hands off as the No. 3 PG.

Magic signed G Ishmael Smith.

Orlando has made the move official, and Smith will replace the recently waived Larry Hughes on the roster. Smith will serve as depth behind Jameer Nelson and Chris Duhon.

Newly acquired L.A. D-Fenders point guard Ish Smith is expected to be called up by the Magic on Thursday.

It makes sense with Jameer Nelson out with a concussion. Smith will tag team with Chris Duhon until Nelson is healthy.

Ishmael Smith was signed by GS on Monday January 16.

Warriors released G Ishmael Smith on Friday.

Smith had fallen to fourth on the Warriors' depth chart at PG and the recent signing of Nate Robinson may have sealed his fate. Smith will look to latch on with another team to provide back court depth.

Ish Smith had nine points, three boards, five assists and two steals on 4-of-11 shooting Saturday.

We like his game and if Steph Curry's ankle acts up again, Smith could be a sneaky fill in at point guard for your fantasy team. But he's not currently worth owning with the Warriors' backcourt healthy again.

Ish Smith started at point guard in place of Stephen Curry (ankle, day-to-day) and had 11 points, six rebounds, four assists, two steals and a 3-pointer on 5-of-13 shooting Wednesday.

Smith looks like a nice player, but minutes will be an issue once Curry is back on his feet. And because we think he's likely to play on Saturday, Smith is probably best left on waivers. However, if Curry goes down long term, Smith will be a hot pickup.

Ish Smith had seven points and a 3-pointer in just five minutes on Sunday.

He looks very confident and will likely be a hot pickup if Stephen Curry's ankle injury becomes a problem.

The Golden State Warriors have acquired Ishmael Smith off waivers from the Memphis Grizzlies.

Smith's contract becomes guaranteed and will compete for minutes at PG with rookie Charles Jenkins to back up starting PG Stephen Curry. Some of you may remember him last year as a sleeper with the Rockets, but Smith will not get enough minutes to be fantasy relevant this season.

The Warriors have reportedly put a waiver claim in on Ishmael Smith.

He was waived by the Grizzlies on Wednesday, and the Warriors would likely use him to replace the recently waived Jeremy Lin.

The Grizzlies have waived G Ishmael Smith.

The 23-year-old averaged 2.3 points for the Grizzlies and Rockets last season and could catch on as a backup for another team.

Ishmael Smith was included as a throw-in from the Rockets and will now help back up Mike Conley.

He'll also probably spend some time in the D-League, but has no fantasy value.

Rookie guard Ish Smith, currently in the D-League, will rejoin the Rockets in time for Monday's game vs. the Nuggets.

Smith will provide some security with Aaron Brooks serving a one-game suspension, but it's unlikely he'll be in the rotation once Brooks returns.

Rockets assigned G Ish Smith to the Rio Grande Valley Vipers of the NBADL.

With Aaron Brooks healthy, there's no room for Smith. He'll be back up in the bigs if Brooks is traded at the deadline.

The Rockets have recalled guard Ish Smith from the D-League.

Smith will join the Rockets for Monday's game vs. the Timberwolves, but he has no fantasy appeal while both Kyle Lowry and Aaron Brooks are healthy.
