Despite his comeback from a very severe-looking ankle injury in what many described as a Willis Reed moment in Game 3, Marcus Smart will be unable to suit up for the Boston Celtics tonight in a pivotal Game 4 against the Miami Heat as the Celtics trail the series 2-1 so far. On the bright side, Robert Williams III, who’s been day-to-day after a bone bruise from the second round brought soreness, is set to play tonight after missing Game 3.
