Celtics guard Marcus Smart will miss Game 2 against the Bucks with a quad contusion, the team announced on Tuesday.
Smart suffered the contusion during Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals on Sunday. He went to the locker room but returned to the court for the second half and finished the game, despite being visibly limited.
The Celtics listed Smart as questionable on Tuesday. Over the last two days, however, Smart’s injury didn’t heal as quickly as the Celtics thought it would.
“Swelling, pain, restricted movement,” Smart said in his pre-game comments.
