Smart (foot) is "aiming" to make his return during Thursday's Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smart presumably suffered the foot injury during Sunday's Game 7 win over the Bucks and was subsequently sidelined for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Boston fumbled a double-digit halftime lead to Miami on Tuesday, so Smart's return would likely be a big boost for Game 2. However, Haynes says that the point guard's status depends on how his foot responds to treatment during Boston's day off.
