Boston Celtics forward Chris Wilcox knows he has to step up his game. After a shoulder injury slowed his progress, Wilcox wants to contribute with his new team. "I'm still trying to feel myself out, see where I'm at," Wilcox said. "The little injury I had kind of set me back, but, at the end of the day, no excuses. I gotta go out there and I gotta continue to play hard and I gotta find a way to contribute." The eighth overall pick of the Los Angeles Clippers, Wilcox has averaged 1.4 points and 2.4 rebounds in five appearances with the Celtics this season.
