Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart will miss about two weeks after cutting his right hand hitting a picture frame on the wall at the team hotel.

Smart’s temper given past flare-ups, including punching a hole in a wall after being sent to the locker room during a game at Washington, coach Brad Stevens said Smart needs to channel his emotions properly.

Smart, 23, has averaged 10.1 points and a career-high 4.7 assists per game this season, his fourth with Boston.

Cavaliers: Guard Dwyane Wade was excused from the team to tend to a family matter, and his return has no timetable, coach Tyronn Lue said.
