ChosenOne Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Celtics captain Paul Pierce said he had a second procedure to clear an infection from his right knee last week after the first was unsuccesful. There is no timetable for Pierce's return, though it is not expected that the extra procedure will keep him out substantially longer than originally thought. Pierce says he is day-to-day. He will travel with the Celtics on their next road trip but has not set a target date to return to game action. "It's getting better," said Pierce. "I'm feeling pretty good. Right now it's day-to-day. There's no timetable on it." Pierce, who had his knee wrapped as he spoke to reporters, said he has not even started jogging following the second procedure, which took place last Friday, Christmas night. Pierce has been riding the exercise bike and put up a few jump shots, but his focus has mostly been to ice and treat his injured knee. With the swelling as it stands now, Pierce cannot fully bend his knee. BostonGlobe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
