Smart is expected to miss a couple of weeks after injuring his ankle during Wednesday's preseason game, A. Sherrod Blakely of Comcast Sportnet New England reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smart was pulled from Wednesday's game after just 16 minutes and is now expected to miss multiple weeks. With that timeline, Smart would miss the season opener for sure and potentially a few games after that. If Smart does end up missing some regular season action, Terry Rozier would likely be the biggest beneficiary and would move into the backup point guard role behind Isaiah Thomas. Smart will likely have his ankle tested again in the near future, but for now, it appears as if he'll start the regular season on the sidelines.
