Marcus Smart said Saturday that he still has some glass in his right hand from when he punched a picture frame in 2018.

“Sometimes I can’t really feel my hand,” Smart told reporters.

Smart, while clearly in discomfort after a win over the Pelicans, said his hand gets sore from time to time ever since the incident. He added that doctors told him taking it out would simply cause more issues.

Marcus Smart was asked if his right hand is sore: "Yeah, it gets like this ever since the picture frame incident. There's still some glass in there. The doctors said it would cause more issues to take it out, so I still have glass in there. Sometimes I can't really feel my hand."
