Avery Bradley suffers second hip-injury, could sit out of practice


Avery Bradley just can't catch a break this season, he has injured his hip for the second time in less than a week.

The Celtics guard suffered a left-hip pointer in Sunday's Game 4 loss while running into a Marcin Gortat screen before the Wizards tied the best-of-seven semifinals series, 2-2. It remains unclear if Bradley will play limited minutes in Game 5 on Wednesday at the TD Garden.

Scott Brooks doesn't blame Kelly Oubre for getting ejected in Game 3


Head coach Scott Brooks didn't agree with Kelly Oubre's reaction to Kelly Olynyk's hard screen, but says he understands why Oubre did it.

Brooks and his Wizards expressed their frustration with the Celtics' physicality after Game 3, and say it's something they've been dealing with the entire series.

Some Key Free Agents

With the Draft Lottery four days away the fate of the Celtics is still up in the air. Danny will have his hands full on decisions to make, which include looking at key free agents already on this current roster (Bayless, Humphries, Pressey, and Bradley), and some good players that are available around the league. Besides the LeBrons and Melos that can opt-out, here is a list of candidates I came up with that Ainge should consider come July 1st.

Point Guards:

Rodney Stuckey (14 PPG, 2.2 APG, 44 FG%) 2013-14 Earnings: $8.5 Million
Despite a disappointing 29-53 record for the Pistons, Stuckey was a bright spot in the lineup this season after the previous two lackluster years for the guard in Detroit. He can start and come off the bench, and has been a consistent sixth-man his whole career. He can sub in for Rondo or play with him at the two spot. Rodney definitely is an upgrade over Bayless in my opinion. With Stan Van Gundy as the newest team president and head coach, he might put up a fight to keep the longest tenured Piston in Motown.

Ramon Sessions (10.7 PPG, 4.7 APG, 43 FG%) 2013-14 Earnings: $5 Million
Always been a very serviceable and underrated guard for a long time. Unfortunately he has bounced around the league for the last four years (four different teams). When given the chance he is a good playmaker and shooter. Could be a nice fit behind Rondo and he won't demand much, money wise. Could start or come off the bench, he’s pretty coachable. It’s a win-win if the Celtics decide to bring in a veteran, who can play either guard position for cheap. I don’t think he’s a part of Milwaukee’s long-term plans.

Honorable Mentions: Del Harris, Kirk Hinrich, and Shaun Livingston
