He’s been cleared! Looks like final decision for tonight will come after the morning shoot around, but I highly expect him to play.

Yeah, we're kind of desperate. He'll play.

This is great.  Would be a huge boost.  His return would also get that crowd really rocking which could only help things.  At this point you have to think he's suiting up.

TP Agreed.  Anytime Marcus has missed this year the C's defensive rating has plummeted.   He is vital in what they do on the defensive end and you hope he can help on Middleton and Brogdon.

He and the team better be conservative here. We don’t need another injury. I want Smart back, but I want a healthy Smart with two functioning hands.

If he’s medically cleared, which he is, Smart is going to go all out, and he should

Don't care about his hands, really. You mainly play defense with your feet, and the fewer shots he takes, the better.

Just hope he doesn't make us all look ridiculous by shooting us out of the game.

We’ve been doing that well enough without him. At least he’ll slow down the other team

He got hurt diving for a loose ball. Players jam their thumbs rebounding or trying to strip the ball or just catching a hard pass the wrong way. He needs his hands for that and to dribble and pass; a one-handed player is *much*easier to guard.

Isaiah was cleared to play last year.

Yeah. By conservative I mean I hope he’s really ready, and not going out there before he’s ready. Once the game starts I don’t see him being able to rein himself in; if he’s in, I expect he’ll be playing with his usual instincts and drive.
