Digest more
Smart has only worn No. 36 during his NBA career, previously wearing the number for the Boston Celtics, Memphis Grizzlies and Washington Wizards. Smart was one of two players who wore No. 36 during the 2024-25 season, with Philadelphia 76ers forward Phillip Wheeler being the other.
Despite his long ties to the Celtics, Smart expects Boston fans to boo him when he faces the team in a Lakers uniform this season. Smart signed with one of the Celtics' biggest rivals by joining the Lakers on a two-year, $11 million deal this offseason.
