Boston Celtics fans call Marcus Smart “Smartacus” for a reason.

In the third quarter of their game against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday night, Smart banged his shoulder on a screen from Karl-Anthony Towns and immediately grabbed it and went to the locker room:

It looked like a textbook shoulder dislocation/separation, so if you started writing Smart's obituary for the season at that moment, no one would blame you.

However, shortly after leaving, a report surfaced that calmed the minds of Celtics fans everywhere:

Himmelsbach then reported that Smart was back on the bench with no wrap of any sort on his shoulder, meaning that this injury was not a big deal at all.

Naturally, Smart then returned to the floor.

Smart is a huge part of what Boston does on both ends of the court.

Known primarily as a versatile defensive stopper, the Celtics' offense has actually improved ever since Smart entered the starting lineup this season, and on the year, he boasts an impressive plus-6.1 offensive net rating, which is something you probably would not expect given his struggles shooting the basketball.

Overall this season, Smart is averaging 7.3 points, 4.0 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.9 steals over 26 minutes per game while shooting 38.6 percent from the floor, 32.3 percent from 3-point range and 76.5 percent from the free-throw line.

The 24-year-old, who played his collegiate basketball at Oklahoma State University, was originally selected by Boston with the sixth overall pick of the 2014 NBA Draft.

He signed a four-year extension with the C's this past summer after a fairly long standoff between the two sides.
