Marcus Smart leaves Pacers game with apparent ankle injury

Marcus Smart had to leave tonight's game on a stretcher with an apparent left ankle injury early in the 4th quarter.

Smart landed on an opponents foot and seemingly injured his ankle pretty badly. He appeared to be in a lot of pain.

The Garden crowd chanted his name as he was taken off the court. He offered the crowd a thumbs up as he left.

*UPDATE*

Celtics officials say it is a left ankle sprain & Smart is now being taken to hospital for an MRI scan.

He will not be making the flight to Chicago.
