While the Celtics try to secure their spot in the playoffs, they will be without their big man Kevin Garnett. Garnett has been out for a week now, but no one knew it was a serious injury. He is listed as having ankle inflammation after playing New Orleans. President Danny Ainge had this to say, “I’ll guess two weeks, just because we want to make sure he’s really ready. A lot of things can cause inflammation; I think everyone has a little bit of inflammation this time of year. KG, we need to get him fresh anyway.” Probably a smart move to give the veteran as much rest as he needs because they will definitely need him in the playoffs. The Celtics should be given a lot of credit as they have been losing players left and right and always seems to rebound great. They almost beat Miami last week without Garnett so don’t count this team out quite yet. Garnett will miss tomorrow’s game against the Knicks where he has had some bad blood with Carmelo Anthony.
