Boston Celtics Rasheed Wallace and Rajon Rondo, both of whom are nursing back injuries, participated fully in Wednesday's practice session, including contact drills, a positive sign as both ramp up for Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday.

Wallace, who originally tweaked his back during Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals against Orlando then left in the fourth quarter of Game 6, had been held out of contact drills earlier in the week, but moved fluidly in the portion of practice open to the media, which included stretching and shooting drills.

Rondo said he'll be near full health by Thursday.

"My body is fine," said Rondo. "These five days have definitely been great for me personally. I know it's great for the team, but for me I've been getting a lot of massages, a lot of treatment. I'm feeling better and better each day. The more time I get, the better I am. [Thursday], I'm sure I'll be back almost at 100 percent."

Elsewhere on the Celtics' injury front, Marquis Daniels (concussion) said he is feeling better, but is still waiting full clearance from trainer Ed Lacerte.

Good news.  We could use Daniels on Kobe.  I thought he did a decent job on Lebron when he got the chance.

If Daniels is just going to ride the pine, with the exception of a blowout, I say dress Scal.  Let him get his 6 fouls so he is a contributor!  ;D

that's what I think too. Scal can backup a few positions if needed, and the way things go with foul calls and techs, we need someone on the bench who can stay standing for some time. Daniels just seems to not be able to stay healthy for more than a few minutes out there.

Not to hijack this thread, but the thing I loved most about last year was watching Scal play meaningful minutes, and play them fairly well.

Excellent news. I'm expecting great things from Rondo in this series.

Go Celtics!
