THANK GOD!

There was legit fears of it being an Achilles injury.

I know our defense will take a hit going forward, but I wouldn't rush Smart either. If it takes like a month or something, let him rest up and heal. It's more important to be as healthy as possible for the 2nd half + playoffs ideally.

2 weeks would be 7 games missed, 3 weeks would be 11 games missed. The Celtics will be shorthanded for their upcoming road trip with Pritchard out as well, especially on the 2nd night of the back to back when Kemba wont play.

Well, hopefully Teague can get into a rhythm with extended minutes. He needs to be better

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Seriously?  I would rather see guys like Nesmith get more PT instead.  And pray for the return of Pritchard ASAP. I know Nesmith not a PG, but frankly we can function as a team for stints without a PG on the floor given the ball handling improvement of the 2 Js.

I’d rather play Jaylen as a point guard then Teague. Lol

Better for him to take a bit longer to return

KD had something similar, rushed back and ended up tearing his achilles in the playoffs

Just sayin

He might be back sometime next month or March but damaged nerve in his wrist is going to bother him. He seems to injure his hands (seriously) quite often which is weird idk

Solid news for Smartacus.
Any odd typos are because I suck at typing on an iPhone :D

I guess we're going to get a good 2-3 week look at Nesmith. This is his chance to show what he's got before Langford returns.

No Smart, no Pritchard, and no Kemba on back to backs. It's gonna be a lot of Teague and some regular minutes for Nesmith.

I see Edwards getting more run as well.
