"Brian Scalabrine returned to Celtics practice today for the first time since sustaining a concussion in a Feb. 24 game. Scalabrine has not been cleared for full participation, but was able to take part in noncontact drills. "It's encouraging," Scalabrine said. "I got the go-ahead to go 5-on-0." Dr. Robert Cantu of Emerson Hospital approved the return after Scalabrine experienced eight successive days of workouts without concussion symptoms (Boston.com)."
Scal is going to be out for the Nets and Heat games, but he could be back against the Cleveland on Sunday. He has not been cleared yet, but if he is able to make it through a couple more practices he should be well on his way. I am not in any way a Scal fan, but some people think he can help the Celtics' bench play better defense. Though I don't agree, I don't see it hurting the Celtics, and with all the injuries the team has gone through it will be good to get as healthy as possible before the playoffs.
