A. Sherrod Blakely "KG (ankle) and Perk (knee) injuries"

[rondohondo]

I just head on weei that he twittered that 20 mins ago . Did he suffer any injuries in game 2?

He banged knees with Perk but that's all I remember.

No idea if this is the case, but if I were Doc, I would have KG resting before game 3 anyways.

Via twitter:
kg and perk with hyperextended knee injuries. probable for game 3

This sucks...

[j804]

dang it man

this is crucial


SMH

edit: i dont see how we could come out with a win w/ out kg and perk, thats basically the backbone of our defense. if they miss game 3 you can mark a L for game 3.

[Prof. Clutch]

Not the news you want to hear...but they don't sound serious since their both listed as probable.

I hope this doesn't lead to "Knee Gate 2010."

[rondohondo]

Anyone else think this could just be gamesmanship by doc. They are making a big deal about lebrons injury. doc busting balls?

[Drucci]

I don't think it's gamemanship. At least, it has been confirmed by other Celtics reporters, and apparently KG's ankle is hurt, not his knee.

ESPNForsberg :
 
KG (ankle) and Perk (knee) both sat our today's practice. KG likely not practicing tomorrow, Perk could be back tomorrow.

Celtics :

KG (ankle) and perk (hyperextended knee) both missed today's practice. KG was hurt at end of Game 2, Perk injured at shootaround.

I think it would take a severed limbs to keep Perk and KG from playing. If they are probable they will play. The question is, will the injury effect their play.

If they are playing hurt I would like to see their minutes reduced. Once again we have a need for Sheed.

Update via celtics twitter, wheww

Perk: "I'll be ready for Friday. We got some rest before Friday. KG wanted to practice today. He was mad. He'll play on Friday."

KG and ankle I am fine with. It looked like an ankle when he did it. Come on Blakely! When KG hyperextended his knee earlier this season he didnt look right for months. Dont scare us!

Im very worried about Perk though. Without his 1 on 1 coverage of Shaq, the Diesel will actually impact this series if we have to double him.

Davis has done a decent job on him overall, and Sheed is very good against him.

We're covered.

Against Shaq, the rest of Cleveland will be able to exploit our help defense.

You need Perk, no one can match his defense.  Sheed and Davis can guard him but they will need help.  Perk can do it alone.

Blakely says both probable for Game 3, Perk says they're both ok...

I think they're both ok.
