Dru Smith re-signed with the Miami Heat on a three-year deal, staying in Miami after two injury-riddled seasons that limited him to 23 games. ACL tearing in 2023-24 and a torn Achilles in 2024-25 kept him off the floor for most of the last two campaigns. When healthy at the start of last season, he posted 6.2 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game on 50.8% shooting, showing flashes of the guard-scoring and playmaking ability the Heat value.

Smith’s journey is unconventional: undrafted in 2021, he crossed from Heat Summer League to the Sioux Falls Sky Force, had a stint with Brooklyn, then returned to Miami. The three-year commitment signals the Heat’s belief in his recovery and his role as depth that can contribute when called upon. For fantasy, he’s a low-risk, high-variance deep-league target—worth tracking in camp and early-season minutes to gauge his upside behind the usual rotation of guards.
