Interesting to see how Marcus Smart responds after playing the rest of the way on that G3 ankle sprain. Udoka: “Has some swelling in his ankle. A pretty bad sprain. Finished the game but he’s gonna feel it. Getting worked on, getting treatment, and see how he feels tomorrow.” – 3:54 PM

Marcus Smart is going to get treatment on his ankle. The Celtics will see how he feels tomorrow. The same goes for Robert Williams with his knee, though Ime Udoka said he is feeling better. Jayson Tatum is fine, Udoka said. – 1:37 PM

Marcus Smart has some swelling in his right ankle that he rolled in Game 3, Ime Udoka says. “We will see how he feels tomorrow.” Adds Robert Williams (knee) has improved and the team will know more about his status on Monday. – 1:37 PM

Robert Williams named his son Hendrix in January. Derrick White, whose son arrived Thursday, had chosen Hendrix for the name well before he was traded to the Celtics.

Ime Udoka on Rob Williams: He is truly day to day and we’ll see how he responds to extra time off. It’s swelling and soreness and it’s likely that throughout the playoffs. – 11:36 PM

On the replay, Marcus Smart rolled his right ankles, but Kyle Lowry also kind of fell into his knee.
Not sure which one was the actual injury causing Smart so much pain. Possibly both. Right ankle definitely rolled badly. – 10:04 PM

Marcus Smart just got helped back to the locker room — after appearing to hurt his ankle/leg. TD Garden has gotten really quiet. Smart was putting no weight on it at all. – 10:04 PM

Looked like Kyle Lowry landed on Marcus Smart’s knee and Smart’s ankle rolled as he hit the floor. He’s back to the locker room a minute after Jimmy Butler was ruled out of the game with knee inflammation. – 10:03 PM

What a chaotic few minutes. Jimmy Butler exits the game with right knee inflammation. Grant Williams starts the second half in place of Daniel Theis. And now Marcus Smart exits with a right leg injury that left him unable to put weight on it as he left the court. – 10:01 PM
