Marcus Smart will no longer be playing in Boston. Many reminders remain from his Celtics tenure including old jerseys and tribute videos from nearlya decade with the team, his impact on local children across New England, particularly those battling cancer, may be his lasting impact.
At The Children’s Room, a bereavement center in Arlington, one Smart Cart rests on the bottom floor filled with Nintendo Switches, tablets and other accessories awaiting the kids arrival this fall. On the side of the cart, Smart, whose YounGameChanger Foundation donated it earlier this summer, now sports a Grizzlies uniform.
