Marcus Smart's ankle not ready yet

There has been some speculation that rookie guard Marcus Smart might return to the active roster on Friday, but after Wednesday's practice it's doubtful his ankle will be well enough to play against the Chicago Bulls. Smart sprained his left ankle a few weeks ago and he still had issues with it on Wednesday, which is why he could not make it all the way through practice. Head coach Brad Stevens says there is no rush for Smart to return to game action.
