Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett injury status

BOSTON -- As for the injury status of both Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett -- the wear and tear on their mid-30s bodies that likely had most teams hesitant to trade for them in February -- here's the latest on the Celtics veterans. Pierce (ankle): "The ankle's a little bit sore, but I think in a couple weeks, going into the playoffs, it'll be fine. I feel fine conditioning-wise. I do the necessary things before practice -- the shooting, the running, the bike riding. Especially since we don't have a lot of practice time, it's important that you get those things in." Garnett (foot): "I feel good." For more on the Celtics, visit weei.com/celtics.
