Marcus Smart Set To Play Wednesday

Marcus Smart Injury Update

Marcus Smart, the Boston Celtics' starting point guard, is expected to return to the lineup on Wednesday against the Charlotte Hornets. Smart has been sidelined since suffering a right ankle sprain in Boston's loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on January 25. He has missed the Celtics' last six games.

Smart's Return a Boost for Celtics

Smart's return is a big boost for the Celtics, who have struggled in his absence. Boston has gone 2-4 without Smart, including a three-game losing streak. Smart is the Celtics' best perimeter defender and one of their most important players. His return should help Boston get back on track.

Smart's Importance to Celtics

Smart is averaging 11.7 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 5.9 assists per game this season. He is also one of the Celtics' best defenders, averaging 1.7 steals per game. Smart's return will give the Celtics a much-needed boost on both ends of the floor.

Potential Limitations

It is important to note that Smart may not be 100% when he returns. He has not played in a game in over two weeks, so it will take him some time to get back up to speed. However, even if he is not at his best, Smart's return will still be a big boost for the Celtics.
