It finally happened. Zhaire Smith finally returned to playing basketball and there’s no restriction on his playing time. His debut game was what was expected, a player with plenty of rust. He only had two points, three rebounds and two assists on 1-4 shooting against the Maine Red Claws. During his second game against the Fort Wayne Mad Ants, Smith looked more comfortable.
