Celtics guard Marcus Smart will miss roughly 2 weeks after punching a picture frame and lacerating his hand at the team hotel.
Smart issued an apology on Friday, saying, “I’m embarrassed and disappointed in my actions.”
I want to take this time to express my sincerest apologies to my teammates, coaches, and most of all the amazing Boston Celtics fans. I'm embarrassed and disappointed in my actions. I swiped at and hit a picture frame on the wall. I feel like I let all y'all down
