Kevin Garnett will miss his second consecutive game due to an abdominal strain. Here’s the latest from the Herald.
“He always wants to play, which is good,” Rivers said. “But he understands it’s the right thing for the team.”
Rivers said no decision has been made on whether Garnett can play Thursday, when the Celtics host the Dallas Mavericks.
“If he can play Thursday, we’ll play him,” Rivers said. “But again, it’s got to be almost 100 percent. That’s the way I look at those types of injuries.”
We’ve also learned Ray Allen will sit out the game as well. According to the Globe, Allen went to the hospital to receive fluids due to the effects of a flu bug. He is not at the arena.
Ray Allen may also sit down with the Flu… as bad as Ray Ray is playing & as bad as the Heat are it would be a hard game if he would miss the game!
Ugh, Scalabrine again? That could be bad.
