BOSTON (AP) -Boston Celtics forward Paul Pierce was out of the lineup for Thursday night’s game against Cleveland because of a right thumb injury.
Celtics coach Doc Rivers said Pierce also has the flu, but it’s the thumb that’s the problem.
Rivers said Pierce is likely to miss “a couple of games.”
Pierce hurt the thumb in the Feb. 18 game against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Also missing practice on Wednesday was Marquis Daniels, who was sent home because he was sick. But Daniels was to start in place of Pierce.
