The Celtics will almost be at full strength tonight against the Miami Heat when Celtics coach Doc Rivers announced that Rajon Rondo (left hamstring) and Paul Pierce (right knee) will return to the Celtics lineup.
Rondo missed one game with a strained hamstring but said he is at “91 percent” but he hasn’t practiced full speed since the Dec. 30 loss to Phoenix. Pierce said he is not 100 percent but “I feel comfortable getting out there. I have been working hard the last few days and I am ready.”
Kevin Garnett (right knee) was with the team but Rivers said he could be out “another week or two weeks.
