Boston Celtics

Pierce says he is OK

Celtics forward Paul Pierce said after tonight’s game that he probably wouldn’t need an x-ray on his left knee. Pierce left the game with 31 seconds remaining after Jazz center Mehmet Okur fell on him. Pierce walked through the locker room after the game without a limp, and with a smile on his face.

“The knee kind of buckled,” said Pierce. “I should be alright. I iced it in the back and I’m able to put weight on it, so I should be alright.”
