Celtics guard Marcus Smart will miss Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals against the Heat on Monday after spraining his ankle in Game 3.
Smart returned to Game 3 in a dramatic moment that brought TD Garden to its feet, but he was clearly limited and the Celtics dropped Saturday’s game to fall behind 2-1 in the series.
“Just trying to get the swelling and pain down and give it a go here in the next ten minutes,” Udoka said before the game. “But it is quite swollen.”
The Celtics will start Derrick White in Smart’s place.
