Ray Allen Out With "Jammed" Ankle

If there's one thing this team doesn't need is injuries. Unfortunately, sometimes you just can't avoid them.

Gary Washburn tweets

Ray Allen has a jammed left ankle and it is uncertain whether he will return #celtics

Ray Allen will not return today with a jammed left ankle #celtics

Allen had double ankle surgery in 2006-07 that cost him the final 27 games of the season. Hasn't had any ankle trouble since them #celtics

Obviously Ray's effectiveness is predicated upon being able to run and get lift off his feet. He's bee the most consistently good player on the Celtics this year, so losing him for any stretch wouldn't be a good thing.

Rajon Rondo is still day to day and Keyon Dooling still isn't back in the lineup, so expect to see some more of rookie E'Twaun Moore and today's starter Avery Bradley (who has looked solid the last few games)

Update: Twitter / @gwashburn14

Ray allen said there's no swelling. Just tightness. X-ray negative. Will try to play tomorrow #Celtics

What is Bradley doing right now..

omg

Lost power

Can someone else do the post game post ?

never mind

I got it

thats ok

as long as we have Paul Pierce tonight we should win

We won an ugly game in spite of ourselves. The captain, Bass and Pietrus shot well.

Garnett came to life just in time- finished strong. A win is a win is a win.

The way Pietrus has been playing, is it really so bad if he's in more for Ray?
+1

i like ray but all he can do is shoot 3’s. with pietrus we get 3’s and defense

And very good to see some life out of Pierce and even KG--

—especially if Danny’s trying to trade them.

we barely beat the wizards

yeah we are injured but come on they are the worst team in the league
