Marcus Smart could return earlier than expected
Marcus Smart left the court with an oblique injury during the Boston Celtics' penultimate game against the Orlando Magic. The injury occurred during the third quarter of the Celtics' 116-108 defeat, and the team's concerns were confirmed when Smart was subsequently ruled out for between 4-6 weeks.
However, Adam Himmelsbach of The Boston Globe is reporting that Smart could return in as little as three weeks:
Have been hearing that despite the 4-6 week timetable on the Celtics' press release, the belief is that it's a 3-5 week injury for Marcus Smart.
Due to the injury, Smart will miss the entire first-round series against an Indiana Pacers side that is without Victor Oladipo. If Boston advances as expected, they will most likely take on the Milwaukee Bucks and the Greek Freak, and Smart should return in time to feature.
Guess the Bulls players in this quiz and it's not going to be easy!
