Marcus Smart won’t play in Sunday’s Grizzlies-Celtics game, but he’s expected to make his first trip to TD Garden since Boston traded him.
On the eve of what was supposed to be Smart’s return game to Boston, coach Joe Mazzulla reminisced over the now-Grizzlies guard’s impact in the organization and outside of it.
“I always said you don’t replace a guy like him, you just find different ways to be able to do it,” the Celtics coach told reporters Saturday. Who he is will always be etched into the City of Boston because of what he’s done in community service and what he’s done here, which is helping represent and give.
