Garnett To Be Scaled Back? Decision Next Week

Boston Celtics GM Danny Ainge expects Kevin Garnett to play Friday night at Atlanta, but the forward's status for the rest of the regular season will likely be determined early next week. "I think he's going to be fine. The question is what the best course is to take," said Ainge. "We'll make a determination next week and figure out what to do over the next couple of weeks ... Obviously, we don't want to wear him out. We're going to watch his minutes and make sure he doesn't play too much." For more, visit the Green Street [1] blog.
