Headline on ESPN says Pierce is out indefinitely, but the link is broken so I can't get the details. Anyone know the status of the captain.

Just got the link to work and the story says day-to-day as Andy suggested. But, ESPN uses "indefinitely" in the headline, to make it sound much worse and dramtatic. Nvermind.  ???

Indefinetly as in it is not definite when he will return. It was a ploy to get Celtics fans to read the article. For me as well as other Celtics fans it worked.
DKC:  Rockets
CB Draft: Memphis Grizz
Players: Klay Thompson, Jabari Parker, Aaron Gordon
Next 3 picks: 4.14, 4.15, 4.19

what would we do without the melodramatic media sensationalizing everything? :)

...but then again, knowing Paul Pierce, he is probably in a body cast today.

You are correct Andy Jick about the media being melodramatic...i heard from Pierce's mouth that he would take a couple days off and day to day from that point on...never heard him say the words " out for a week"like it got reported the next day from the media.They turned a couple days into a week by the time it got reported.tp
