Marcus Smart is unhappy with how the NBA handled an incident with a Denver Nuggets fan on Nov. 22. Smart says that while he was diving for a loose ball, the fan told him, “Get on your knees.”

The Boston Celtics hosted the Denver Nuggets on Friday night at the TD Garden. Despite battling an illness and an abdominal injury, Celtics guard Marcus Smart played 28 minutes. The former Oklahoma State star scored nine points and dished out two assists as the Celtics defeated the Nuggets 108-95.
The game went much smoother for Smart than the last time the 25-year-old Texas native faced Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and their Denver teammates.
