Boston Celtics veteran point guard Marcus Smart made a surprising revelation to the press after the Celtics 107 – 97 road win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday night about his health — specifically a hand he’d injured previously in a fit of rage over some photos posted online back in 2018.
Smart rolled up to the postgame media session after the Pelicans win noticeably irritated with his hand, and fielded a question about what was bothering the Flower Mound native. Not a product of his play in that game, Smart explained it was a nagging issue dating back to that incident that saw him smash a picture frame with his hand in which the glass came very close to severing a tendon.
“(I) still have some glass in there,” shared Smart about the injury. “(The doctor) said it would probably cause more problems to take the glass out.”
Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart was none too pleased with a fan crossing into disrespectful territory with his heckling on Saturday. https://t.co/3xMhMqWbIK
