Morning sports update: Here’s the latest on Marcus Smart’s injury

On Tuesday night, the Celtics take on the Wizards in Washington at 8 p.m., while the Red Sox face the Yankees for the first time this year at 7:10 p.m. at Fenway Park.

Marcus Smart reportedly could return by the end of April

If the Celtics advance past the first round of the playoffs, or make it deep into the first series, a welcome reinforcement could arrive to solidify their backcourt. Yahoo Sports’ Shams Charania reports that Marcus Smart had a reevaluation on his torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right shooting hand and is expected to be cleared to play six weeks after surgery.
