Celtics' guard Avery Bradley has been dealing with a reoccurring left shoulder injury and it flared up again in the third quarter of the Celtics' 90-84 win over the Hawks in Game 3 of their first round series.
Bradley left the game with just over two minutes left in the third quarter and went back to the locker room with team doctor Brian McKeon. The team originally said he would return, but then that prognosis changed in the fourth quarter. Bradley told a pack of reporters he was fine as he left the arena.
"Usually they're able to, like a leg, they'll snap it back," coach Doc Rivers said. "It wouldn't go back in. So, we'll find out more [Saturday.]"
Without Bradley, Ray Allen played 36 minutes in his first game back from bone spurs and Paul Pierce played over 47 minutes. Rivers is giving the team the day off to rest for Sunday's Game 4 at the Garden.
