"He'll go through more of practice (Wednesday) than he's gone through since his injury," head coach Brad Stevens said. "So we'll see how he reacts to practice Wednesday and we'll see how much he can do after two more days of treatment. But the plan of attack is that he will be pretty available for practice, for most of what we will do in Wednesday's practice."

It pays to make sure he's fully healthy, but the sooner he's back and playing up to speed, the better off the team will be.
