"Celtics center Kendrick Perkins sustained a left shoulder strain in the final quarter, but said he plans to play in Game 5 tomorrow, to the point where he will refuse to have the injury diagnosed by a magnetic resonance imaging exam. "It didn't pop out, it's something like a muscle strain," Perkins said of his shoulder last night. "It's the playoffs and the tissues don't have time to heal, so it's weak back there. It'll take two months and I'll be all right. I'm not taking the MRI. If I take the MRI and they find something, I may be out (Boston.com)."
Well you have to love his heart. He knows the Celtics can not compete if they lose another player. I also think he knows there is something really wrong with his shoulder again. Hopefully he can play through the pain, but I have to say it worries me a little bit that he won't even have it checked. After a couple days of letting it rest my biggest concern is that it is going to really tighten up, but maybe that won't be the case and he'll be fine...
