The Celtics can live with the loss of some offense, but one player who's absence is always felt is the team's defensive anchor Marcus Smart. Reportedly, Smart's eye infection hasn't improved, but has instead spread to both eyes.
"It's in both eyes now," said Celtics head coach Brad Stevens. "So he's struggling a little bit."
This sounds pretty awful, but Stevens then in turn hinted Smart's return could be coming sometime soon.
Stevens gets a sense that it won't be that much longer before Smart is back on the floor after conversations Stevens had with the team's medical staff.
