The Boston Celtics have been absolutely sensational this season. They are leading the Eastern Conference with a league-best record of 22-7. Considering the Celtics have been in great form, they were the favorites to win the Tuesday night game against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Although the game went until overtime, the Celtics got the job done behind another masterclass performance by Jayson Tatum. Speaking of the matchup, Marcus Smart briefly had to get off the floor. Many suspected it was something serious, but it turns out Smart had to vomit. Yes, the 28-year-old admitted that.

“I’m a little under the weather. I actually had to vomit. I didn’t want to ruin the floor at Crypto[.com Arena]. It’s a lot of traveling. We’re playing these games—back-to-back, day between. Your body takes a toll. And it’s around that time—flu, it’s December, it’s cold. So, for us, we’re just trying to do everything we can to stay as healthy as we can. Tonight I’m a little under the weather but we pushed it through and that’s all you can ask for.”
Smart admitted that he had the flu, and traveling a lot only made things worse for him. While it’s good to know it’s nothing serious, it isn’t too difficult to connect the dots with a similar incident that took place with Paul Pierce several years ago. When Pierce had to be taken off the game in a wheelchair. However, it turned out that the Boston Celtics legend just wanted to use the toilet.
Paul Pierce Denied That He Pooped His Pants
The story about Pierce getting taken off the court in a wheelchair to return sometime later is one of the most hilarious things that has happened in the NBA. Many believe that Pierce even pooped his pants, and that was one of the reasons why he wanted to go off in a wheelchair.
But the 2008 NBA champion once denied those claims. He said it didn’t make any sense for him to sit in a wheelchair after allegedly pooping in his pants to make things even worse for him.
Either way, it still remains a hysterical story. Who knows, maybe years down the line, Marcus Smart will also admit the real reason behind getting off the court for a while.
