Adam Himmelsbach: Marcus Smart said he’s playing tonight, but anticipates having to miss games occasionally during the remainder of the season to minimize ankle swelling. Said he had an MRI that just showed a “really bad bone bruise” but no structural issue.

Alex Caruso just flew halfway across the half-court to slap a ball out of Marcus Smart’s hands in help defense, then scrambled all the way back to draw an offensive foul off Grant Williams, who was attempting to slow him down with a screen. Just bananas defensive vision. – 8:59 PM

ICYMI – Marcus Smart remembered a rookie Tatum showing up not expecting to defend. Then, he realized his role could be tied to how well he played on that end.
