Marcus Smart returned to action for the Boston Celtics on Tuesday after a month and a half absence, and he received a standing ovation.
The Celtics guard checked into Game 5 of his team’s playoff series against the Milwaukee Bucks in the first quarter and was welcomed warmly by the fans.

Smart wasted no time showing off his hustle, as he dove for a loose ball.
The 24-year-old is averaging 10.2 points, 4.8 assists and 1.3 steals per game this season. He had been out since March 11 as he recovered from surgery to repair a torn ligament in his right thumb.
