Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart has been out since Wednesday with a lacerated hand.
The details of the injury had been kept a mystery until now.
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

The injury occurred during the day following a miss at the buzzer in a 108-107 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday.
He has been sent back to Boston, and it is uncertain when the Oklahoma State product will return.
