First, Pierce might be able to return sooner than the two weeks originally estimated. Second, Kevin Garnett (right thigh bruise) practiced at full speed and will play against the Orlando Magic Friday. Third, forward Glen Davis (broken right hand) could be activated against the Magic.
"He looked great, he'll be fine, so that's the best news," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said of Garnett. "Honestly, I told Kevin if I didn't think he was moving well (today) I was going to set him tomorrow, too. We're looking for the long term. Tomorrow is a great game and all that but we have bigger plans than tomorrow. We want to win tomorrow, we want to win every game we play but we want to be healthy."

Rivers said Pierce's return was a "guesstimate by a doctor who never played basketball."

"I think it may be shorter than two weeks," Rivers said of Pierce.
