Former SportsCenter anchor Dan Patrick used to say, “so-and-so was listed as day-to-day, but then again, aren’t we all?” For the Celtics and their injury report during the Eastern Conference Finals, no truer words have been spoken.
After officially being listed as questionable yesterday, Marcus Smart (right sprained ankle) and Robert Williams (left knee soreness) remain game-time decisions for tonight’s pivotal Game 5 in Miami. Smart left and returned in Game 3 after sustaining that sprain and subsequently missed the Game 4 blowout. Williams missed the final four games against the Bucks and Game 3 against the Heat from reoccurring swelling and soreness in his surgically repaired knee.
