In his first six NBA games with Brooklyn, Smith averaged <strong data-start=\"2034\" data-end=\"2048\">6.2 points<\/strong>, <strong data-start=\"2050\" data-end=\"2065\">2.7 assists<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"2070\" data-end=\"2086\">2.2 rebounds<\/strong> in <strong data-start=\"2090\" data-end=\"2106\">19.5 minutes<\/strong>, while shooting <strong data-start=\"2123\" data-end=\"2172\">50% from the field and from three-point range<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2213\" data-end=\"2571\">His new deal also reflects the work being done within Brooklyn\u2019s G League pipeline. The Long Island Nets, coached by <strong data-start=\"2332\" data-end=\"2347\">Mfon Udofia<\/strong>, have now produced three NBA call-ups this season: <strong data-start=\"2399\" data-end=\"2416\">Malachi Smith<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"2421\" data-end=\"2437\">Grant Nelson<\/strong> to Brooklyn, plus <strong data-start=\"2456\" data-end=\"2485\">Jeenathan \u201cNate\u201d Williams<\/strong> to the Golden State Warriors on a two-way deal.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2573\" data-end=\"2854\">For Smith, this is another valuable chance to earn a longer look from the franchise before the season ends. After this second 10-day contract, Brooklyn would need to sign him for the rest of the season in order to keep him beyond that point.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Brooklyn Nets G League head coach Mfon Udofia has gotten three NBA call-ups from the Long Island Nets this season, including Malachi Smith and Grant Nelson with the Brooklyn Nets and Jeenathan \u201cNate\u201d Williams with the Golden State Warriors on a two-way contract. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/bCK1akKYWw\">https:\/\/t.co\/bCK1akKYWw<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Michael Scotto (@MikeAScotto) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MikeAScotto\/status\/2036798699133698344?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 25, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The franchise is rewarding the guard\u2019s solid early impact after his first six NBA appearances with the team<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":146,"featured_media":372108,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_spbk_hide_featured":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[399],"tags":[],"rumors":[175],"typology":[183],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-489728","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba","rumors-nba-rumors","typology-rumors"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/02\/Brooklyn-Nets.jpg","digistream_id":0,"digistream":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/489728","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/146"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=489728"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/489728\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/372108"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=489728"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=489728"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=489728"},{"taxonomy":"rumors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rumors?post=489728"},{"taxonomy":"typology","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/typology?post=489728"},{"taxonomy":"posizionamento","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posizionamento?post=489728"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
