Los Boston Celtics could be in trouble, because they doubt the participation of Marcus Smart in the second game of Eastern Conference semifinals of the NBA against the Milwaukee Bucks.
According to journalist Marc Stein, Smart suffers from a bruise on his right thigh, so his presence in game number 2 against the Bucks would be at risk, although nothing is confirmed yet.
In the first game of the series, the Celtics point guard also suffered from what looked like a dislocation of his right shoulderbut then returned to the match.
Bad news
If Marcus Smart ultimately doesn’t play in Game 2 against the reigning NBA champions, it will be a significant loss for the Celtics, who lose the recently named Defensive Player of the Year.
Smart is coming off the best regular season of his career, posting averages of 12.1 points, 5.9 assists, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.7 steals per game.
