Marcus Smart only hurts when he laughs, coughs and walks

For those desperately wondering how Marcus Smart is recovering from his torn oblique, the news isn’t promising.

Smart spoke today about the injury:

“When I came back in I thought I was fine, because I’ve been hit before,” he said. “When I tried to get into a defensive stance I felt something pull and that’s when I kind of knew and I started waving for coaches to come get me. And the more steps I took I could feel something stabbing me until I couldn’t move anymore, and that’s when I dropped to the ground.
