NEW YORK — Add two more injuries to the litany of ailments Marcus Smart has been dealing with this season.
Shortly after returning from taking a shot to the eye, Smart was struck in the abdomen area and left for good during the third quarter of the Celtics’ 113-104 win over the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Sunday.
Smart, who is also nursing a hand injury, tried taking a charge from New York’s Kevin Knox and got the worst of the collision and had to be helped to the locker room by two Celtics officials.
