Avery Bradley will not play Tuesday against Toronto
The Celtics won't quite be at full-strength on Tuesday night in Toronto. Avery Bradley is set to miss the game after test results revealed his achilles is in fact strained:
Avery Bradley is out Tues. night in Toronto. Tests confirmed original diagnosis of strained Achilles. Goal is to have him play Wed. at home.

The C's will have to head into possibly their biggest game of the season thus far short-handed, as they trail the Raptors by just one game heading into Tuesday's showdown. They'll need another outstanding effort from Marcus Smart like the one he had Saturday night against the Pelicans. Smart will get the start again in Bradley's absence.
