I’m guessing Derrick White will start with Marcus Smart out. That puts more minutes in play for Payton Pritchard. Could also open up minutes for Aaron Nesmith or Sam Hauser.
We may get more from Ime Udoka on who will start in about 15 minutes or so. – 5:01 PM

Quite the testament to Marcus Smart’s value that he won Defensive Player of the Year and I still think his absence tonight might be more notable on the offensive end. – 5:01 PM

The Celtics have ruled out Marcus Smart for tonight’s Game 2 against Milwaukee. Massive blow for Boston to be without its point guard and the Defensive Player of the Year as the Celtics try to even the series. – 4:59 PM

Jay King: Ime Udoka said Marcus Smart “took a few hits.” He believes the quad bothered Smart more than the shoulder, but “he’s going to play through a lot.” “He’s getting iced down now and I’m assuming he’ll be OK.” -via Twitter @ByJayKing / May 1, 2022
