Smart leaves game vs. Sixers with ankle injury

Share

The Boston Celtics might be without Marcus Smart for the foreseeable future.

The veteran point guard left Tuesday's game vs. the Philadelphia 76ers with a right ankle sprain after colliding with Joel Embiid in the second quarter. He stayed for his free throw attempts before exiting to the locker room.

Watch the play below:

The Celtics ruled Smart out for the remainder of the game.

If Smart is forced to miss time, that would be a major blow to a C's team that has been on fire since he returned to the lineup on Jan. 23. Boston is 10-1 and Smart is a +184 while averaging 12.5 points, 5.9 assists, and 1.5 steals per game during that span.

Smart had seven points and an assist in 13 minutes prior to the injury.
