Marquis Daniels Will Miss Tuesday's Game with Injured Wrist

PrintGuard Marquis Daniels sat out most of Sunday's practice and will miss the Celtics' game against Milwaukee Tuesday with hand and wrist injuries.
Daniels, who was injured last month, said he aggravated the injury early in the training session.
The team's in a pretty good groove right now, so hopefully these injuries aren't serious and Daniels will be back in the lineup soon. My main concern is that they're already ruling him out for Tuesday and it's only Sunday right now. To me, that says it's either somewhat serious and the team knows he'll be out for a handful of games, or it's just precautionary and they want to give him a few days to heal it up entirely, rather than having him continue to play with the wrist not being 100 percent.
Update: Marquis' illuminates the details of the injury
"Nolan Ryan Rondo threw the ball in practice, I tried to catch it, and it just hit my thumb wrong and swelled up a little more," said Daniels, who said he may have an MRI taken of the thumb and wrist tomorrow. "I had to sit down and rest it a little bit. I don't remember how it happened. I just noticed that it's been swelling the last couple of days. I wanted to keep playing, but Doc thought it would be best if I sat out and let it heal up.
"It affects me to a certain extent, but I've played through it," he said. "I hope I heal quick. Hopefully it should be gone. It's very frustrating. I don't want to miss any time or any games."
Here's the latest on Tony Allen, who could very well be filling in for Daniels on Tuesday.
Guard Tony Allen is expected to return to the lineup Tuesday. Allen practiced at full speed Sunday and will be evaluated Monday. No team practice is scheduled Monday.

This one's been brewing awhile...
Hopefully, it’s nothing serious.
On the bright side, TA’s primed to be back on Tuesday (at least according to the latest reports).

Not a big deal
We have a deep bench that hasn’t been used as much as they could be and Marquis Daniels is hardly a key piece. We don’t need to move Walker (he needs the playing time), especially when Tony Allen is on the mend. No need to make any changes, he won’t be out long, and his absence won’t be a big problem.
Get well soon, Marquis.
I guess it explains his offensive struggles of the last few games!
JFoss, have to disagree with you, Marquis is a key player of our 2nd unit, in fact he is central for it.
Hopefully T.A can get the job done… yeah, well, who knows?
I hope Marquis gets back soon!
If TA's really coming back
Well, at least we’ll have Marquis’ spot filled. But, I don’t know if I want TA handling that ball..which means Eddie will have to…ugh.
here we go
marcis misses his first game. i am sure it won’t be one though, but there will be many more. it will be xrayed and it will take longer than they thought. trust me. he has never, ever, played a full season of ball, a regular walking talking injury waiting to happen writen all over his game. marquis is good help but only part time..
Maquis is key, but this might be a good time
One wonders if they looked at the schedule and said, let’s let this thing heal. Our second unit hasn’t been as effective since Marquis has been hurt because the ball handling has not been as good (marquis not as good and more Eddie). Sadly there isn’t a replacement ball handler. If walker were ready he could take some pierce time with the first unit and pierce/ray could ball handle for the second unit (not ideal).
NoTA please
I had hoped never to have to see TA play in green again. Ugh. Just give Hudson the PT… the kid could break out. Needs the chance. TA is hopeless.
Even if you don't like TA
He’s much more developed than Hudson at this point.

No I don't!
But seeing as this is either his last chance to play here or maybe play anywhere maybe he’ll get it and settle down and play with his head.
less than great news
need to get better details on how long they project him to be out to know how much this will disrupt the team.
Marquis hasn’t played well in a week or two—-this would offer an explanation why.
Not surprised he’s going on the shelf for probably a few games this week now that TA is available to play. Expecting to see lots of rust on TA’s game. Worsens the issue of House playing PG. Expect to see TA doing a lot of ballhandling and turning it over.
you know why he is hurt!!!!!
because I just picked him up off waivers on my fantasy team!!!
Is it Soup Yet?
Master Po!!! Haven't we already had this discussion????!!
NO HOMER PLAYERS ALLOWED ON YOUR FANTASY TEAM ANY MORE!!!!!!!!!!
Do not ever again tempt the gods of karma.
That is all.
