Celtics F Pierce to be limited if he plays Sunday
Even if Boston Celtics forward Paul Pierce is healthy enough to suit up in Sunday’s season opener, he likely won’t see much court time.Pierce is battling a nagging heel injury that may keep him out of the lineup for the Christmas Day matchup with the New York Knicks. He’s considered doubtful, but may give it a go.Head coach Doc Rivers suggested Pierce would only play between 15-20 minutes if he dresses, and would be replaced by Sasha Pavlovic in the starting lineup.Pierce averaged 18.9 points and 5.4 rebounds in 80 games last season.
