This kind of night for Boston so far…. one errant pass ends up being a Marcus Smart breakaway and now a Jaylen Brown lost dribble goes to Derrick White for an and-1. – 9:02 PM

Derrick White starts the third quarter for Marcus Smart (ankle), who will not return. – 8:58 PM

As expected, Derrick White starts the second half in place of Marcus Smart.
Presumably, this will mean increased minutes for Payton Pritchard in the second half too. – 8:57 PM

Marcus Smart hurting big-time. Unclear if he will be back in the second half. pic.twitter.com/nJEhSkXCOM – 8:29 PM

Just especially awful timing for that injury. Marcus Smart had been playing the best ball of his career for the past few weeks. – 8:27 PM

Marcus Smart being helped off, not putting any pressure on that right leg. Didn’t look good. – 8:27 PM

Marcus Smart was helped back to the bench by his teammates, not putting weight on one of his legs, looks like he’s going to shoot the free throws here so he can potentially come back in after he presumably gets looked at – 8:26 PM

Looks like Marcus Smart turned his ankle on that drive. He was in a lot of pain after the foul call – 8:26 PM

Marcus Smart is being helped off the floor by his teammates after that last drive. I couldn’t see what happened, but he’s not putting much weight on his right leg. They’re now looking at him on the bench. – 8:26 PM

More on this storyline
Gary Washburn: Smart is being carried to the locker room and putting no pressure on the left leg. He’s done for the game because he won’t be able to shoot FTs. #Celtics #76ers -via Twitter @GwashburnGlobe / February 15, 2022
Gary Washburn: Good news for #Celtics is it’s Smart’s ankle and not the calf injury that cost him 18 games last season. Likely to sit out WED against #Pistons and rehab for the next week during AS Break. -via Twitter @GwashburnGlobe / February 15, 2022
Keith Smith: Marcus Smart was asked if his right hand is sore: “Yeah, it gets like this ever since the picture frame incident. There’s still some glass in there. The doctors said it would cause more issues to take it out, so I still have glass in there. Sometimes I can’t really feel my hand.” -via Twitter @KeithSmithNBA / January 30, 2022
