Marcus Smart gets into a shouting match with fan in his return to TD Garden
Briefly

Marcus Smart did not play during the Celtics versus Wizards game but was involved in a notable incident with a fan who was ejected. Smart expressed his discontent with the fan's behavior, stating, "Just crossed the line and we all know I don't do line crossing." Despite being visibly upset, Smart downplayed the incident, emphasizing the supportive atmosphere from the Celtics fans throughout the evening. As he adjusts to his new role with the Wizards, Smart continues to appreciate the fan support, acknowledging the importance of focusing on the present rather than just playing.
Just crossed the line and we all know I don't do line crossing. That was it. We move on. Unfortunate, you never wanna see that, especially for a guy who's coming back, and who's giving the city everything he has.
Pointing him out to security. Just trying to get him out before it escalated more than what it was. But that's over with, it's done with. On to the next one.
Despite that brief skirmish, Smart was once again serenaded by Celtics fans throughout the night - with chants of 'We Want Marcus!' heard several times on the broadcast.
Find out on the fly. You always want to play, but at the same time, it was good to just take all the love in and not have to be out there focus.
