Danny Ainge: Marcus Smart could return by end of December

Danny Ainge provided an update on Marcus Smart this morning that Celtics fans will be happy to hear.

Making his weekly scheduled appearance on 98.5's Toucher and Rich show, the president of basketball operations said that Smart is back on the court and could be returning to action soon.

"Marcus had a really good day (Wednesday)," Ainge said. "He got out on the court for the first time and he’s running around and felt good. Barring any setbacks, I think it’s probably looking closer to the end of this month or the beginning of the new year.
