Boston Celtics' Marcus Smart feels 'great,' expects to play vs. Brooklyn on Thursday
Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart says he should be good to go when the Celtics begin the second half of their season in Brooklyn against the Nets Thursday night.
"I feel great," said Smart, who has been out since suffering a calf strain against the Los Angeles Lakers on Jan. 30. "Today was the first day to really get out there and play five-on-five and get contact and really press it to the limit to see. It felt really good. It was hard to really do stuff over the break, five-on-five, stuff like that. So today was the first time, and it felt great.
