Celtics Lose Marcus Smart, Jayson Tatum To Injury 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Mon Apr 8, 2019 6:48 am

Marcus Smart and Jayson Tatum both left the Boston Celtics' 116-108 loss to the Orlando Magic due to injury.


Smart was diagnosed with a left oblique strain, while Tatum suffered a left shin contusion.


Smart's injury appeared more worrisome for the Celtics as Tatum had been dealing with his injury before Sunday's game. Brad Stevens said they'll wait until tomorrow to update Smart's condition.


"We'll see what that looks like tomorrow. He was a little sore but was walking around, which was good, in the locker room," said Stevens.

Translation: Smart pulled a muscle, and Tatum got a bruise. Minor boo boos.

Smart looked like he was in a lot of pain after taking a knee in the glute. Hopefully for the Celtics it's bot as bad as the one that kept Dwight out all year.
