Marcus Smart Ruled Out For Friday’s Game
2 years agoBoston Celtics point guard Marcus Smart (ankle) will be sidelined for Friday's contest vs. New Orleans due to right ankle inflammation. Smart's absence marks his second in a row, paving the way for Derrick White to continue seeing sizable minutes, even as Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) is slated to return to action. While Smart has scuffled from long range thus far in 2022-23 (29.2%), he has dished out double-digit assists in four of his last six appearances and is on track to set a new career best with 7.1 dimes per game. His next chance to take the floor comes Monday at the Bulls.
