Pierce, Garnett, and Darko out tonight, Barbosa might play Sunday vs. the 76ers
According to CSNNE's Sherrod Blakely, Leandro Barbosa has arrived in Boston. He has selected #12 to wear on his jersey, and there is a chance he might play Sunday against Philadelphia (but not tonight against the Knicks):
#Celticstalk: Barbosa is inBoston. #Celtics Doc Rivers said there is a chance he might play Sunday vs. #Sixers.

#Celticstalk: FWIW, Barbosa will wear No. 12 for the #Celtics this season.

Also, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and Darko Milicic will not be playing tonight. It looks like Doc is just resting KG and PP, and hopefully Pierce's ankle injury from the Nets game isn't a concern:
#Celticstalk: No Pierce, KG, Bass or Darko tonight for the #Celtics.

#Celticstalk: #Celtics Doc Rivers said Pierce and KG were told before #Nets game on Thur. that they would not play tonight.
