When Marcus Smart made his emotional return to the TD Garden last season for the first time since being traded to the Memphis Grizzlies, he was wearing street clothes.

Smart suffered an injury and was unable to play against Boston during that matchup, but still received a memorable tribute video ahead of the contest.

On Saturday night, Smart was able to check into the game and grace the TD Garden parquet for the first time as a member of another team. Celtics fans made sure to still give him the standing ovation he deserved as a fan favorite in Boston for years.
