Pierce had a second procedure

Pierce spoke today.

Celtics forward Paul Pierce spoke to the media for the first time since
undergoing what he detailed as a pair of surgeries to drain fluid from
his right knee, including a previously undisclosed operation on
Christmas Day.

Pierce said he remains day-to-day and will travel with the team on
its upcoming three-game road trip that begins Wednesday in Miami.

"I'm feeling better, feeling pretty good," said Pierce. "Right now
it's day-to-day, I can't put no timetable on it, but the positive thing
about it is it's been feeling better, showing improvement every day."

TWO??? 

And this from Gary Dzen     doesn't sound much better either

Pierce
said he cannot even bend his knee fully. He hasn't started jogging.
He's working more on getting the swelling down than coming back.

Jeeeeeeeez.  Can't even bend it fully??  What the hell happened?  How do you go from a great game to waking up with swelling that needs to be drained twice?

Update:

Doctors did not officially determine the source of the infection, but
they speculated it could have come from a cut he got on his toe in the
locker room last Tuesday.
