Rotowire
Smith (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's playoff game against the Pacers.
Smith will miss a second consecutive game due to a sprained left ankle. The absence of the rookie forward shouldn't have a significant impact on Milwaukee in Game 2, as he averaged 2.9 points and 1.1 rebounds per game across 5.3 minutes per contest during the regular season.

Bucks' Tyler Smith: Caps rookie season in style
Rotowire
Smith accumulated 20 points (6-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, one block and one steal in 30 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 140-133 overtime victory over the Pistons.
There was nothing on the line for either team in the regular-season finale, so Smith saw a significant workload for only the second time in his brief career and produced career highs in points and made three-pointers. The 2024 second-round pick should return to his spot at the end of the bench when the Bucks begin their playoff run Saturday in Indiana.

Smith (ankle) is not on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Pistons.
Smith missed the Bucks' last two games due to a right ankle sprain, but he appears to be on track to play in Sunday's regular-season finale. The Bucks are set to rest multiple rotational players due to being locked in as the No. 5 seed in the East, so Smith figures to see a good chunk of playing time after not being a part of the rotation for much of the season.
