#NEBHInjuryReport update:

Marcus Smart (right thigh contusion) - OUT

— Boston Celtics (@celtics) May 3, 2022

ANALYSIS: Smart suffered the injury in their Game 1 loss against the Bucks. Without the newly-named Defensive Player of the Year, the Celtics will have to rely more on Derrick White and Payton Pritchard as they try to even this series on their home court.
