Marcus Smart returned to action for the first time since March 21, contributing six points, five rebounds, seven assists, two steals, and a block in the Lakers’ win over the Suns. Despite limited scoring, Smart’s defensive prowess was evident and crucial, especially with the uncertainty surrounding Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves’ availability for the upcoming playoffs starting April 18. His performance solidifies his role as a valuable asset in the Lakers’ rotation.
