Celtics Officially Announce Marcus Smart’s Status for Game 3
After missing Game 2 earlier this week, Celtics guard Marcus Smart will be available when Boston takes the floor in Milwaukee for Game 3 against the Bucks on Saturday, the team announced.
According to Celtics coach Ime Udoka, Smart will start this afternoon’s game and will not have any limitations.
The update to Smart’s status came after he was upgraded to probable on Friday morning. The Defensive Player of the Year has been nursing a right thigh contusion that he sustained during Game 1 of the Eastern Conference playoff series last Sunday after he took hits to his right thigh on back-to-back plays during the game.
