Via the Globe:

The Bulls' sharpshooter took a pain-killing shot on Sunday, had
swelling on Monday and said today that he is not moving well. He didn't
participate in the Bulls' shootaround at Emerson College this morning.

Gordon, who is treating the injury, a Grade 2 strain, with ice and
electrical stimulation, said he is going to test his leg during pregame
to see what he is able to do. On the possibility of playing tonight, he
said, "It's still pretty bad. I don't know. I'm looking for a miracle."

I'm a bit stunned because I was starting to believe the Celtics were the only team dealing with major injuries this postseason.

As for the new speculation (courtesy of Reggie Miller), that KG could return for the second round:

"Like I’ve said before, yeah, there’s a chance, it’s not a very good
one," Rivers said. "I guess you could report that and it's correct, but
it would be incorrect."
