The Celtics are still battling a lot of injuries and are running out of time before the playoffs start. One would think they would want to get everyone back for at least a couple games to get comfortable and set rotations, so here is a look at where they all are.
Shaq - Everyone thought he was done when he had to leave the game last night, but apparently it is just a calf strain and he could even play next game (Tuesday against Philadelphia). Shaq in my eyes is the key to the Celtics playoff run. That is a scary thought, but they need his big body under the hoop, so lets cross out fingers he will be ok.
Nenad Krstic - When Krstic went down I thought he tore his ACL, but his MRI came back negative, and has even been able to practice. That was good enough for Doc to say that he expects him to be back Tuesday. Krstic has regressed since a strong opening for the Celtics, but he does have some offensive tools and can eat up some minutes as well.
Troy Murphy - Although I wish he was dead on the side of the road somewhere, it sounds like he could be back in the next week or so. Murphy has been a complete bust, and I doubt we will see him much at all in the playoffs, especially if we have a full healthy roster.
