The Boston Celtics will go to Milwaukee for Games 3 and 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinal with the series tied 1-1.

After sitting out of Game 2 with a right quad contusion, Marcus Smart is in line to return to action for Game 3.

The Defensive Player of the Year said this during his afternoon media session:

”So when I come back, I’m coming back to be me, that’s all I can really say about that. Because if I’m not out there, it’s because I didn’t feel like I was 100 percent to be out there and do the things I think I’m supposed to be doing.”

Marcus Smart talks about his quad injury, and whether he'll be ready for Game 3 on Saturday.
