Brooklyn Nets Sign Malachi Smith to Second Ten-Day Contract

The Brooklyn Nets have signed guard Malachi Smith to a second ten-day contract, following his impressive performance during his first stint. Smith, a 26-year-old undrafted player from Gonzaga, averaged 6.2 points, 2.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1 steal per game, shooting 50% from the field and 50% from three-point range. His standout performance against Sacramento earned him a career-high 18 points, leading to his call-up from the G Leagues Long Island Nets. Coach Jordi Fernández praised Smiths fit with the team and hopes he maintains a simple approach. This extension offers Smith a chance to build a bigger role in Brooklyn, after bouncing between G League teams and starting his college career at Tennessee Chattanooga and Wright State.
