24,000th Minute Played

With well over 800 games already in the books, Smith has also logged a lot of minutes. Smith has accumulated 22,543 minutes and has a career average of 26.9 minutes per game. If he plays those minutes over a career average of 69 games, Smith can en up playing over 1,800 minutes this season alone. Adding that to his total, Smith would finish the season with 24,423 minutes. That puts him well past the milestone for his 24,000th minute played.
