BOSTON — The TD Garden faithful was very happy to see Marcus Smart back on the floor.
The guard made his first appearance of the 2019 NBA playoffs Monday night, entering Game 4 between the Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks with 6:16 left in the first quarter. The guard had been sidelined with a torn left oblique for several weeks before making his return to the court.
And, obviously, the crowd went wild when he entered the game.
