Lakers’ Marcus Smart returns to Rockets game after injury scare

Lakers Nation held its collective breath on Christmas Day. During the Los Angeles Lakers’ marquee showdown against the Houston Rockets at Crypto.com Arena, veteran guard Marcus Smart gave everyone a serious fright.

According to Brett Siegel, Smart was seen sprinting straight to the locker room with his right arm visibly dangling. The sight of the defensive anchor clutching his shoulder and exiting the floor had all the makings of a season-altering moment.
