Smart was upset about a foul call at the end of regulation that not only fouled him out of the game, but also put Caris LeVert at the free throw line to tie the game.
Not only might Smart be suspended for his actions, but the Celtics will be without numerous players for Wednesday’s game in Cleveland. Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Kemba Walker and Gordon Hayward all might also miss the game.
Oh, and Marcus Smart may be suspended by noon tomorrow. The Celtics could be without four starters and their sixth man tomorrow. https://t.co/ZZxS009PAd
