PHILADELPHIA - Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart suffered a right ankle sprain in the second quarter of Tuesday night's 135-87 win over the Philadelphia 76ers at Wells Fargo Center and did not return.
Smart drove down the lane and stepped onto the foot of 76ers center Joel Embiid, bending his ankle inward awkwardly and tumbling to the ground in a heap.
After spending several moments on the court in pain, he eventually got up and hobbled to the bench. Then he returned to the court, took his two free throws -- missing both -- and exited the game, going to the locker room with the help of a trainer.
