Marcus Smart is confident that he will be back on the court for the NBA playoffs.
The Boston Celtics guard underwent surgery on his thumb a few days ago and is expected to miss from 6 to 8 weeks of action.
Per ESPN, "I am confident [I'll be back for the playoffs]," Smart said Monday night, his right arm completely wrapped, at his annual bowling fundraiser for his YounGameChanger Foundation. "I had one of the top [hand] doctors do it. The surgery was a success. Like she told me, you might as well go on and get it now. The quicker you can get it, the quicker the recovery.
"I'm real, real, real excited and eager to get back out there, whenever that is, hopefully it's sooner than later, like I said. Hopefully the team can and, like I think they're gonna do, is handle their business and have me back [in the postseason]."
