4 years agoBoston Celtics point/shooting guard Marcus Smart is officially off of the minutes cap that he has dealt with over his past six outings. The announcement is fortuitous, as Smart figures to now see an increase in playing time Monday against Memphis with Kemba Walker (rest) unavailable. Smart has averaged 11.3 points and 3.5 assists since returning from a calf injury that cost him nearly a month and a half. While he remains a significant part of Boston's backcourt mix, his name has also been discussed in trade rumors ahead of Thursday's Trade Deadline. For now, Smart has a green light from a fantasy perspective with his usual role among the Celtics' starting group back in his grasp.--Jesse Borek
