Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart caught the injury bug that the rest of his team is facing.
Smart dove for a loose ball in Sunday’s loss to Indiana and said he sprained it after the game
“It’s sore but it will be alright,” he said. “It’s like a sprain now.”
The team reiterated that it was a sprain on Monday afternoon though the fear is that he could be out indefinitely.

Smart was coming off a 20-point, seven-rebound, eight-assist night in the loss. He also drained six three-pointers.
If he has to miss any time, he’ll join Kyrie Irving (knee), Jaylen Brown (concussion) and Al Horford (illness) on the sideline.
