Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum is looking forward to facing his former teammate
The Memphis Grizzlies have been on a hot streak over the past couple of weeks, winning seven of their last eight games to move into a tie for third place in the Western Conference.
Of course, Saturday's matchup is huge for both teams, but a side storyline has been very intriguing to many. As the Grizzlies head into Boston, fans will see the return of 2021-22 NBA Defensive Player of the Year and former Celtics' fan-favorite Marcus Smart. Saturday's matchup marks Smart's first game against his former squad and his first time in TD Garden as the opposition.
"It'll be a little weird," Tatum said about going against Smart on Saturday. "I'll probably go out and tackle the s--- out of him or something. But I'm excited to see him. I know the fans are going to be thrilled to have Smart back in the building. So it's going to be a special one."
