KG Likely Back Tuesday

by Jeff Clark on Feb 17, 2008 3:01 PM EST in Boston Celtics News & Links

Looks like we may see Garnett back on the court on Tuesday:

"I'm trying to play Tuesday," Garnett told The Globe from NBA All-Star Weekend in New Orleans. "It's been miserable. To be honest, miserable. But I'm in a good place mentally. I'm dealing with it."
Garnett said he will know more after participating in Monday's practice in Denver -- in particular, how many minutes he'd be looking at to start off. According to The Globe, Garnett was scheduled to have an individual workout in New Orleans on Sunday.

In other injury news:

Doc Rivers gave an update on the latest of the injured Celtics and it's a good news/bad news thing. Brian Scalabrine, who strained his right groin against the Knicks Wednesday, is the bad news part. "I think Scal is going to be out for a while," Rivers said. "We don't know how long. Groin pulls are tough." The good news was for Glen Davis, who strained his left quad in the same game and also has a knee bruise. "Baby's fine," Rivers said of Davis. "He should be back at practice [tomorrow] and playing Tuesday."

scal out for the trade deadline. if anyone would want him; not now. go slow with kg – it’s all in the postseason for us and we need him healthy.

The biggest little part of this story is that Big Baby being fine.
It was he who MVP’d the San Antonio game.

I agree 55, what’s the deal with Perkins?

Scal being out can’t be that bad if Perk and BBD (and of course KG).

…premature ‘submit’, it’s a personal thing…

complete thought:

Scal being out can’t be that bad if Perk and BBD (and of course KG) can be back he is not needed.

Man I’m surprised after watching Big Baby’s pain that he’s back Tuesday. I’ve torn my ACL and cartilege and he was carrying on like he had that pain (and the mental terror of what you’ve just done). That is a big relief but something doesn’t square up.

sorry for changing the topic a bit. 1. it was good to see kg rooting for rondo in the frosh-soph game. 2. rondo played ok with one missed layup, but 3 nice steals. 3. barkley and kenny smith are absolute clowns ans not announcers. they were horrible, besides not giving rondo any respect.

I heard on CSL tonight that Perk has a separated shoulder. Not good news. Was this reported somewhere and I just missed it? Anyone have a link or something to get more info? Thanks in advance.
