Fantastic news for the Celtics. There was a rumor that Pietrus may be able to play Wednesday night against Dallas, so this is a great sign that he may actually give it a go. It's also a great sign that Sasha Pavlovic may be buried on the bench soon. The best of both worlds.

The Celtics bench has totally been re-tooled. The only returning players are Marquis Daniels (who missed half the season after his injury), Avery Bradley (who barely played last year), and Sasha Pavlovic (who is returning in only the strictest sense of the term).
