Ever since Marcus Smart tore his left oblique in the second to last regular season game on April 7 versus the Orlando Magic, a waiting game ensued for when Smart will suit up again for the Boston Celtics.
And after taking small steps like jogging on a treadmill to sprinting on the court, Smart took a bigger leap Thursday when he participated in non-contact basketball activates at Thursday’s practice.
Given a four-to-six week timetable for return when he first sustained the injury, Smart looks on track to comeback somewhere in that vicinity with the four-week mark being this Sunday.
