Celtics rookie forward Kris Joseph was recalled Friday from the Maine Red Claws of the NBA Development League.

With Jeff Green (knee) and Chris Wilcox (illness) questionable for
Friday's visit from the Portland Trail Blazers -- and a back-to-back
looming Saturday in Milwaukee -- the Celtics brought back Joseph, one of
two rookies on assignment, in order to add depth.

The Celtics are already operating shorthanded as Rajon Rondo was
suspended Thursday for two games. Meanwhile, Avery Bradley is still
rehabbing from double shoulder surgery, meaning that -- accounting for
Green and Wilcox -- the Celtics had only 10 truly healthy bodies before
recalling Joseph.

If Green can't go, Joseph provides depth behind Paul Pierce at a
thin swingman spot (Courtney Lee could also shuffle over to that spot at
times).

Rookie Fab Melo remains on assignment in Maine.

MY NOTE: Ok, Kris, here's your chance. Green is struggling and you've had some opportunity to learn the plays and develop a game-timing edge in Maine. Good luck.

looking forward to seeing kid play, he can rebound and can't shoot any worse than Green lately
