Dennis Smith Jr., who recently arrived at Real Madrid after a seven-year career in the NBA, is gradually integrating into the team’s rotation as he works to recover his physical condition. Real Madrid coach Chus Mateo has expressed patience about his return to the court.

Chus Mateo commented on Smith’s current state, highlighting the need for time to reach ideal form:

‘He is not ready to play yet. He needs time because he has to recover his fitness. He has been inactive for a while and needs to reach the level that the competition requires. We need patience. I would like him to be ready before the Cup,’ the coach concluded.
