Not so for Willard Carroll Smith II, the Academy award, Bafta and Grammy-winning actor and rapper who enjoyed an uninterruptedly stellar career from the late 80s until 2022, when he put a crimp in things by lamping the Oscars' host Chris Rock for insulting Smith's wife. This was followed by a tour violinist suing him for alleged predatory behaviour, unlawful termination and retaliation, which is working its way through the California legal system now. Smith has categorically denied all allegations.
SAN JOSE Injured forward Will Smith will join the San Jose Sharks on their upcoming road trip against Eastern Conference teams, but it remains unclear when he'll play again, coach Ryan Warsofsky said Sunday. Smith, who was injured in the Sharks' Dec. 13 road game against the Pittsburgh Penguins, skated again on Sunday and is slated to practice with the team again on Monday, although it was uncertain whether he'll once again be in a non-contact jersey.

The Los Angeles Dodgers began their National League Division Series matchup against the Philadelphia Phillies without Will Smith in the lineup for a third consecutive playoff game. Smith also did not appear in the Wild Card Series and his absence extended back to Sept. 10, when the Dodgers placed on him on the 10-day injured list. The official designation at the time was a right hand contusion, but it was later determined Smith suffered a hairline fracture.
He's been dealing with right hand trouble since being hit by a foul ball in the second inning on Sept. 2. Smith initially remained in the game but was pinch-hit for in the third inning. The Dodgers kept him on their active roster despite Smith not playing again until Sept. 9. There was an expectation he would be back the day prior but the Dodgers elected to delay that with the hope Smith would ultimately start two of the three games in their series against the Colorado Rockies.

I think we've done a very good job of kind of building equity into him as far as the workload and being able to push him at certain times," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said of Smith. Roberts added the Dodgers went into the Rockies series planning to have Smith and Dalton Rushing split the four games at catcher. Smith was back in the lineup Tuesday and Wednesday.
