Quote from the Daily Memphian article:
“Smart said it is painful for him to catch the ball because the injury is so exposed without skin to protect it.
“Any touch or anything is really sensitive,” he said. “But hopefully we can put a pad on it like this and it does the job.”
There is no way Smart is going to let the hand injury slow him down. Despite the wound, he has never appeared on the Grizzlies injury report.”
I think Drew Hill meant that the injury has never appeared on the injury report. This happened on a play in the last Pelicans game where: “…I got the steal and got fouled at half court, my hand slid into the court and the court took everything with it.”
Ouch.

[“Every time the ball hit it(the sore), it just busted open with blood. When I caught the ball, by the time it got enough feeling back, it was time to make a play, shoot it or drive it.”](https://www.commercialappeal.com/story/sports/nba/grizzlies/2024/01/02/marcus-smart-injury-update-hand-memphis-grizzlies/72073106007/)
He was somehow the 2nd most efficient player for us behind Luke last game.
Bro what is this bullshit? Most random setbacks ever
