Scroll on ESPN at end of Double OT said Stevens said Smart might not play for rest of season
Ainge was on 98.5 today and said they're still waiting on the second opinion (Smart is in NY today to see a hand specialist). Still don't know whether he'll need surgery or will be able to just tape it up and play.

We should write him off.  Don't expect to see him again this year.

I'm honestly very upset at how Smart even got in this situation... How much do you see him getting, and do you want him to return next year, or be gone with the wind?

You're frustrated that he dove for a loose ball?  Isn't that, like, the whole point of having Smart on your team?

No, that's my favorite part of Smart.

I'm frustrated he punched a wall, because he supposedly was upset some escort or IG model got into his head...

Yuck.

That's about as undefinitive as you can get. :P

The rollercoaster continues:
  • Beginning: High hopes
  • 5 minutes in: Hopes dashed
  • 16-game winning streak: High hopes
  • Post-London malaise: Hopes dashed
  • Smaller winning streak: High hopes
  • Smart's hand, Theis's knee, Irving's knee, Smart's hand again: Hopes dashed

This season has really been a mixed bag: Some pleasant surprises, and some dreadful ones. Where will this season end up? None of us knows. But it could get really ugly before everything's said and done.

6 weeks would put him back right at the end of the first round.

Seems like the recovery timeframe is roughly 4-6 weeks with most trending toward the latter end of that timeframe before coming back. Hopefully it’s sooner than that, but I’d be happy to have him back at the end of the first round.

Could have been worse I suppose.

This will likely keep him off all-defense teams which is too bad for him as I had him penciled in to my first team.

His last game as a Celtic has been played, sucks to see him go out like that.
2023 Historical Draft - Brooklyn Nets - 9th pick

Bigs - Pau, Amar'e, Issel, McGinnis, Roundfield
Wings - Dantley, Bowen, J. Jackson
Guards - Cheeks, Petrovic, Buse, Rip

He recovered from that injury and had been back playing. This injury was from diving for a loose ball. The only connection between the two is via the butterfly effect.

I was under the impression that while he was cleared to play and recovered, that there would still be lingering aftereffects.

But if it isn't pertaining to each other, then we have awful luck with injuries this season.
