Celtics' Garnett could miss several weeks after injury
Dec 30, 2010, 23:33 GMT
Los Angeles - Boston Celtics lost more than a game to the Detroit Pistons, they lost superstar Kevin Garnett after an MRI on Thursday revealed a strained right calf that will bench him several weeks.
Celtics president Danny Ainge told WEEI radio on Thursday that Garnett 'will be out a couple of weeks at most to be conservative.'
That was seen as good news for those who feared an even longer absence from the court. The MRI came back negative for any knee damage and likely muscular injury, as coach Doc Rivers indicated after the game Wednesday night, the Boston Globe reported.
In the game Wednesday night, Garnett went down with a leg injury, but his teammates couldn't pick him up.
Tracy McGrady scored a season-high 21 points, Tayshaun Prince added 18 and the Detroit Pistons took advantage of the early loss of Garnett to beat the visiting Celtics 104-92 on Wednesday.
The Celtics will host the New Orleans Hornets Friday night, New Year's Eve, without Garnett.
