The Boston Celtics had a six day break in their schedule, and they were able to get some much needed rest. Unfortunately, the team suffered many injuries along the way that have hurt their depth for the near future.
To start, Marcus Smart’s nagging eye infection is still keeping him out of action, as the infection in his left eye has spread to his right eye as well. He has now missed the last four games for the Celtics, causing their defense to struggle in losses against the Indiana Pacers and Philadelphia 76ers.
Gordon Hayward was announced to have foot soreness Wednesday afternoon, and will undergo an MRI Thursday after missing the Celtics’ last contest.
