Marcus Smart, Robert Williams sit out for Celtics

Marcus Smart (eye infection) and Robert Williams (sore hip) on Thursday night both missed their third consecutive games as the Celtics faced the 76ers.

Smart’s eye appeared puffy when he left the locker room after Boston’s loss to the Pacers on Wednesday night. Stevens said that Smart saw a new eye specialist Thursday morning. Celtics coach Brad Stevens said that Williams continues to undergo tests on his sore hip, and they have been inconclusive so far.

“Obviously he’s missed a couple of games here, but I usually wait for all of the info before I judge my level of concern, I guess,’’ Stevens said.
