Marcus Smart Unsure If He'll Be Back Before All-Star Break rotoballer.com Tue 1/31/23 3:32 PM

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (ankle) was talking to reporters when he said that he's making "small improvements" but is still unsure when he's going to return to the court.

Since he's been out, Derrick White, Malcolm Brogdon, and even Payton Pritchard have filled in admirably.
