SHANGHAI — Marcus Smart missed Team USA‘s World Cup game Thursday with a left quad strain and will be day-to-day.
Smart missed most of Team USA’s training in August with a calf strain on the same left side. He only played 11 minutes in the Americans’ victory over Turkey on Tuesday.
He joined Boston Celtics teammate Jayson Tatum (sprained ankle) on the sideline. The Americans had already qualified for the second round, lowering the stakes for the game.
The second round begins Saturday in Shenzhen, China. Tatum has already been ruled out for that game.
