LOS ANGELES (AP) -Boston Celtics center Kendrick Perkins was helped off the floor midway through the first quarter of Game 6 of the NBA finals Tuesday night with a right knee injury.
Perkins went down after grabbing an offensive rebound and getting fouled by Los Angeles Lakers center Andrew Bynum. Perkins stayed on the floor while his teammates on the nearby bench came to check on him before he was slowly helped to the back by teammates Shelden Williams and Brian Scalabrine.
The Celtics said Perkins was having X-rays and weren’t sure if he would return.
Perkins was replaced by Rasheed Wallace. Both players are one technical foul away from an automatic one-game suspension.
