Celtics' Marcus Smart (thumb) could reportedly return for Game 7
Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart could make a return to the lineup as early as a potential Game 7 against the Milwaukee Bucks.
What It Means:
After being given a 6-to-8 week timetable in mid-March, Smart has been on track to return around April 27th. A Game 7 would be scheduled for April 28th, so it would make sense for him to play then, even if it's in a limited capacity. If and when that happens, he'll steal minutes from Shane Larkin, Terry Rozier and possibly Jaylen Brown at the two.
Over 54 regular season games (11 starts), Smart averaged 10.2 points, 4.8 assists and 3.5 rebounds per game.
