The Brooklyn Nets have locked in guard Malachi Smith with a multi-year agreement, the team announced Saturday.
Financial details of Smith’s new contract remain undisclosed. The 26-year-old former Gonzaga standout went undrafted but earned his way onto the roster after completing two separate 10-day contracts with Brooklyn.
Coming off the bench in 10 appearances this season, Smith has contributed 7.3 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 2.0 assists while playing an average of 18.2 minutes per game. His standout performance came during Brooklyn’s matchup with Sacramento on March 22, when he posted a personal-best 18 points.
Before joining the Nets, Smith spent the past two seasons developing his skills in the NBA G League. He played for the Rip City Remix during the 2023-24 campaign, followed by stints with both the Wisconsin Herd and Memphis Hustle in 2024.
