Boston Celtics superstar Marcus Smart had to be helped off the court at Scotiabank Arena on Saturday night, after falling awkwardly just seconds before half-time.
The NBA Defensive Player of the Year for 2022 fell when quickly changing direction following a pass from Al Horford, as he looked to drive the net with just 12 seconds remaining in the half. The Celtics were down 57-49 to the Toronto Raptors, but their problems got a lot worse as Smart went down.
And Smart stayed down with a towel over his head, as he appeared to be in an immense amount of pain. Smart then checked out of the game, but needed assistance from two members of the medical staff to get off the court.
