Marcus Smart says it's been "stressful" not being able to play the last nine games, especially once other key guys started going down too. But he appreciated the support from the organization and training staff to help him get back on the floor.

He felt "great" physically tonight and is excited to play again on Sunday.

Jarred Vanderbilt on moving past his incident with JJ Redick a couple of games ago:

"It's definitely not a time for us to separate. Unity is very important for our group right now."

think luka and reaves should shut it down for the reason, not worth coming back to risk further injury and inevitably lose to okc

UD a real one for this

hell of a trade. Luke a long term piece

JJ Redick on the Lakers' decision to sign Nick Smith Jr. over Drew Timme to the playoff roster:

“Obviously a difficult decision. Drew (Timme) has been awesome for us. Frankly, we're missing two of our primary ball-handlers. We need Nick, we need his shooting as well. A lot of discussion, a lot of debate over the last few days about that.”

Smart gets the start. Laravia gets sent to the bench
