WALTHAM — Does Marcus Smart think he will be a Celtic next season?
“Honestly, I do,” Smart told reporters at Brandeis University Wednesday.
Smart — who was in town hosting his annual basketball camp — previously expressed confidence about his return during his exit interview after the team’s playoff run. He said both president of basketball operations Danny Ainge and coach Brad Stevens had given him the impression they planned on re-upping his contract.
The Boston Globe‘s Gary Washburn also reported earlier in June the Celtics were interested in bringing back Smart and guard Terry Rozier.
