Rasheed Wallace started at forward in Garnett's place Tuesday night against the Indiana Pacers. It's the first game Garnett has missed this season.
Garnett was at the TD Garden for the team's shootaround and wanted to play, but coach Doc Rivers told him to take the night off. Garnett is averaging 15.3 points and 7.6 rebounds per game.
Garnett played a total of 66 minutes, 18 seconds in the last two months of the 2008-09 regular season and missed the playoffs with strained ligaments in his right knee.
