The headline is a quote from Rasheed Wallace as he spoke about the cut Ray Allen suffered above his left eye during practice yesterday. The Globe has more details:“You couldn’t see it, then all of a
sudden he’s laying down. Then you saw the blood and you’re saying, ‘Oh
no, I don’t think he’s faking.’ ’’Though
he was down for a while, Allen got up on his own power. He suffered a
cut above his left eye that required five stitches at New England
Baptist Hospital.“He got hit pretty hard in the head and went down,’’ Rivers said. “I’m sure he had a buzz or something.’’Rivers doubts that yesterday’s mishap will keep Allen out, but he said,
“That’s the one that hurts because you don’t expect those to come at
that time.’’Other links: Herald - Pierce Feels For Former Running Mate ('Toine) | Celtics Get Their Fix on D | Pierce Revels in Celtics Rebirth | Cavs Interested in Antonio Daniels? |
