Celtics Notebook: Marcus Smart dislocates fingers in victory

LAS VEGAS — The Celtics scored a 91-85 victory over Portland in the Las Vegas summer league playoffs last night, but more importantly look like they may have dodged a bullet with Marcus Smart.

The second-year guard suffered two dislocated fingers on his right hand while bracing himself on a fall going for a rebound. Smart stayed on the floor screaming for a few moments and was taken to the dressing room. X-rays were negative, but he needed five stitches.

“They just said dislocation,” reported Celtic assistant coach Micah Shrewsberry, who’s running the team here.
