Healthy Marcus Smart already hitting crazy trick shots for Team USA

Share

Marcus Smart was cleared to return to Team USA over the weekend after a calf injury kept him sidelined for almost two weeks.

That means the Boston Celtics guard could practice with the team in Australia on Monday as it gears up for the 2019 FIBA World Cup.

It also means the world got to enjoy the wonderful trick shot Smart pulled off Monday.

We're not sure how many attempts Smart made off-camera, but it's still pretty awesome.

Smart is one of four Celtics players on the current Team USA roster, joining Kemba Walker, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. After De'Aaron Fox pulled out this weekend, the squad needs to make one more cut to get down to its final 12-man roster, so the C's will have at least three players on this Team USA squad.

That's good news for Boston fans, as it sounds like the quartet is using the extra time to develop some chemistry.

"Our camaraderie, our chemistry is building," Walker told reporters Monday, via USA Basketball. "It’s getting better each day. We just had a 17-hour flight out here. We are on a plane, joking, laughing, stuff like that. So, it’s been great."
