Marcus Smart will return for Game 5 vs. Heat, Robert Williams also available

Both Marcus Smart and Robert Williams will be back in the lineup for Game 5 against the Heat on Wednesday, the Celtics announced.

Smart suffered a nasty-looking sprained ankle in Game 3, and while he returned in dramatic fashion as the Celtics attempted to rally, he missed Game 4.

So how is he feeling now?

“Good enough,” Ime Udoka said. “He tested it, and it feels better as the day went on. Did a little bit in shootaround and just some pregame now. He has enough movement where he’s not restricted in certain areas as he was a few days ago, and so it’s going to be some swelling and some pain, but he’s a guy that can play through some things, and we left it up to him as far as how confident he is with his feelings on the court, and he’s good to go.
