Marcus Smart will be honored during his first trip back to TD Garden since the Celtics traded him this past summer.
The former Celtics guard will be honored as a “Hero Among Us” during Sunday’s Grizzlies-Celtics game for his charitable contributions in Boston and the surrounding areas during his nine seasons with the franchise.
The Celtics pointed out just a few of Smart’s contributions around Boston in a press release announcing that he was receiving the honor on Sunday. They mentioned that he spent his first day with the organization visiting children battling cancers and other severe illnesses.
