Marcus Smart Injury: Out for Wednesday

Celtics Guard Suffers Calf Strain

Smart to Undergo MRI on Tuesday

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart is questionable for Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks due to a calf strain, the team announced Monday. Smart suffered the injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Milwaukee Bucks.

Smart is averaging 11.7 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 6.7 assists per game this season. He is one of the Celtics' most important players, and his absence would be a significant blow.

The Celtics are already without Jaylen Brown, who is out with a facial fracture. If Smart is unable to play, the Celtics will be shorthanded in the backcourt.

MRI Results Expected on Tuesday

Smart is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Tuesday to determine the severity of the injury. The Celtics are hopeful that the injury is not serious, but they will not know for sure until the results of the MRI are back.

Update on Smart's Status

The Celtics will provide an update on Smart's status on Tuesday after the MRI results are back. In the meantime, the Celtics are preparing as if Smart will not be available to play on Wednesday.

Celtics Prepare for Knicks Game

The Celtics are scheduled to host the Knicks on Wednesday night at TD Garden. The Knicks are one of the hottest teams in the NBA, and they will be a tough opponent for the Celtics, even if Smart is able to play. The Celtics will need to be at their best if they want to beat the Knicks.
