Celtics coach Doc Rivers said that Kevin Garnett will not play tomorrow
night against the Pistons, but Garnett, who practiced today, will make the
trip and will campaign for minutes.
"It wouldn’t be me if I didn’t," he said when asked if he’d try to talk his
way onto the floor tomorrow night.
Rivers is still looking at Friday’s home game against Portland for a
return, and he said even that is not set in stone.
According to Rivers and Paul Pierce [stats], Garnett looked very good while going
through the full session today. He scrimmaged with the first team. Rivers
explained that conditioning is the only issue. Garnett said his right knee
(hyperextended in the Golden State game on Dec. 28) feels fine.
