Dennis Smith Jr.'s short stint at Real Madrid has come to an end. Over the course of four games, the player managed just 35 minutes on the court and contributed 11 points to the club's history. Smith Jr. is leaving, citing difficulties in adapting to the team, and he has struggled to reach the necessary fitness level to make a meaningful impact.

According to journalist Chris Haynes, Smith Jr. plans to resume his career in the NBA this season. His time at Real Madrid was incredibly brief, making him one of the most fleeting players in the club’s recent history. The point guard, who arrived on January 16, departed just 33 days later, barely making an impression. His brief passage through the team has been compared to that of a comet—here one moment and gone the next.

Smith Jr. himself shared the news of his departure on his Instagram, amplifying Chris Haynes' confirmation. It’s clear the player is keen to signal his availability to NBA franchises, openly placing himself on the market.

As for Real Madrid, they are now under pressure to move quickly if they wish to sign a new point guard before the EuroLeague signing deadline next week.
