WALTHAM, Mass. – When Jae Crowder returned the Boston Celtics’ rotation last Saturday in Detroit, it was evident that he was not yet fully comfortable on the court after being sidelined for the previous eight games with a sprained left ankle.
His first two games back were a challenge, as he scored just 13 points total against the Pistons and Timberwolves, respectively.
But lately, Crowder seems to be trending back in the right direction.
“You can definitely tell that the ankle is coming along,” teammate Marcus Smart said Saturday afternoon at the Celtics’ training facility in Waltham, Massachusetts.
