The Celtics’ streak of good health will remain intact when their first-round playoff series against the Hawks continues on Sunday.
Marcus Smart will play in Game 4 after suffering a lower back contusion in Game 3, Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla told reporters ahead of Sunday’s game.
The Celtics’ starting point guard suffered the injury late in Friday’s loss. When Smart attempted to go up for a rebound in the final minutes of the game, he landed hard on his lower back.
Smart was down on the court and grimaced for a moment before getting back up to his feet to play the remainder of the game.
