Smart expects to play in both the Orlando and Las Vegas Summer Leagues this summer, the Boston Globe reports. The Celtics plan to field teams for both leagues, and when asked about his participation, Smart sounded eager about the opportunity. "I'm sure I will be playing that's the plan," he said. "First-year, second-year guys play. [Phil] Pressey played, [Kelly] Olynyk played their first two years, so I don't think I'll be any much different than those two guys were. It will be a great experience, to get more familiarity with the game. I will have known a lot more. It will be good for me." In the same media session, Smart acknowledged that the ankle he badly sprained back in November is still not 100 percent. "It's closer than it was a couple of months ago. Just got to stay on top of it, keep working on it to get it back stronger, get it to its full potential. I'm attacking the rim a lot more, getting in the paint a little more," Smart said. "It's still hard for me to explode off of it but I'm attacking a little more because it feels better."
