Garnett missed the 99-93 win over the Hawks because of right knee soreness. He missed 13 games with the injury before returning to play the previous four games. Coach Doc Rivers said Garnett's latest ailment "wasn't an injury" and a doctor's visit wasn't necessary. Rivers acknowledged considering sitting Garnett until late in the regular season and said a determination would be made "sometime soon." An NBA source said Garnett still has discomfort and tightening in his knee. Rivers said Garnett will likely miss tomorrow's game against Oklahoma City, but solid practices could allow him to return Wednesday against Charlotte. "He's not feeling great and we're just not going to take the chance," Rivers said. "A day of rest . . . it's more just the whole knee strain. We're just going to go day by day. I'd say that because we're sitting him down that we'd probably do it for more than one game. But I'm not sure yet." Boston Globe

I see it as not a panic situation....being safe rather than sorry...... 8-)

KG's knee is starting to freak me out. wonder if he was further away from returning than they originally thought for returning to play?

KG is clearly ageing here. I wonder how many games he'll miss next season ..... we need to make a move for a guy like Rasheed in case something like this happens again next season.

I agree that Sheed could really help take some of the minutes off of KG. However, Sheed has had an assortment of injuries this season too

Rasheed is aging too. He is having one of his worst years in his entire career, just like KG. Rasheed is currently hurt as well. McDyess has played bettter than Rasheed this year.
