KG "rebounds" nicely

Reports indicate that KG went through practice at full speed with no issues:

"Kevin Garnettwent full speed in practice yesterday, indicating he has recovered from a hyperextended knee that kept him out for 10 games. Garnett scored 13 points in 30 minutes in a 98-95 overtime win over Portland Friday night as the Celtics snapped a three-game losing streak."

Plus (found down on the bottom of the page):

"Marquis Daniels practiced briefly, his first action since undergoing left thumb surgery last month."

It seems that things are looking up!!

Here is more from the Herald:

“It’s good to have Kevin back - more important it’s good to see him playing better after the game and playing a lot of minutes,” Rivers said. “That’s a good sign for us.”

Another sign of these new times? Garnett is not being subjected to minutes monitoring.

“We felt pretty good about it before,” Rivers said of Garnett’s appearance in Friday night’s overtime win against Portland. “There wasn’t a minutes restriction - this is totally different from last season’s injury, and that’s why we were really not concerned about the minutes. Our only concern with him minute-wise is conditioning. It had nothing to do with the knee.

This article also includes a bit about Marquis Daniels:

Marquis Daniels ran through some defensive drills during yesterday’s open practice in front of a group from New England Baptist Hospital, but once the balls were handed out, the swingman left the floor. His surgically repaired left thumb is still too tender for that kind of test.

Apparently, he isn't quite ready for prime time.
