BOSTON (AP) -It’s a good thing for the Boston Celtics that the NBA rescinded center Kendrick Perkins’ technical foul and nixed his suspension.
He might be the only big man they have left.
Perkins was ejected from Boston’s 113-92 loss to Orlando in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals on Wednesday night after picking up two technicals in the first half. The league rescinded one on Thursday, clearing Perkins to play in Game 6 when Boston tries for the third time to eliminate the Magic and advance to the NBA finals.
The Celtics need a victory Friday night to avoid a trip back to Orlando for a seventh game, where a Magic victory would make them the first team in NBA history to come back from a 3-0 deficit in a best-of-seven playoff series.
