The Celtics return to action tonight in their first preseason game of the year. And EVERYONE is going to be watching Kevin Garnett out there. Just remember when you're watching... if he's limping, it's because he's got shin splints and some mysterious calf problem now.“He’s been good, (but yesterday) I thought they bothered him more
than the other days,” Rivers said. “So he went through the practice,
but I don’t think he moved great.
“I just think it’s from not playing. You take the time off that he
took off and then you get on the floor and then you go through a camp
that’s live and hard, I think your injury is OK, but the stuff around
the injury probably starts to affect you. And that’s what’s happened.”It makes total sense that trying to come back after a long layoff could cause problems in areas around the injured knee. I'm also wondering how long these nagging problems will be tolerated before KG starts to rest them...
