Paul Pierce: “I’ll Be Ready”
Hooped Up | June 8, 2008
After leaving Game 1 briefly with what looked like a serious knee injury only to return to help lift the Celtics to victory. Paul Pierce is still hurting but will be ready for Game 2.
“Knowing my threshold for pain, to go out there and play shouldn’t be a problem,” Pierce said. ” . . . I think with a little more treatment and rest, once those lights come on and the popcorn starts popping, I’ll be ready.”
He said he had received laser treatment, ice and massages, but cannot squat all the way down on the knee he injured in the third quarter Thursday.
He said he probably needs an MRI to discover the full extent of the damage but is putting it off until the end of the series and season.
