Celtics guard Marcus Smart resumed basketball activities this week after being sidelined for a month with two dislocated fingers, according to a league source.

Smart suffered the injury in the first half of the Celtics’ Las Vegas summer league game against the Blazers July 16. When Smart, guard Terry Rozier, and Portland forward Noah Vonleh converged on a loose ball, Smart braced himself with his right hand — his shooting hand — as he fell, dislocating his index and middle fingers. A bone also punctured the skin, requiring five stitches.
