Marcus Smart appears likely to return to the Boston Celtics, according to a report from ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. The restricted free agent is one of the few notable free agents remaining at this point, and had been loosely tied to the Sacramento Kings in free agent rumors.

The Kings could offer well in excess of the $11.
