Celtics coach Ime Udoka provided a positive injury update for Marcus Smart’s Game 3 status, per the team’s release.
On Friday morning, Udoka said the NBA Defensive Player of the Year is “probable” for Game 3 vs. the Bucks on Saturday. This does not necessarily mean Smart will play on Saturday, but there is at least a chance the Celtics can avoid missing their guard for more than just one game this postseason.
