Coach Doc Rivers said the Boston Celtics pulled captain Paul Pierce
out of practice Monday afternoon to rest his sprained left mid-foot
injury, and that he is questionable to play Wednesday night when the
team visits the New Orleans Hornets.

injury, and that he is questionable to play Wednesday night when the
team visits the New Orleans Hornets.
"Paul didn't do a lot today," said Rivers. "We actually pulled him out
early. He practiced, but he wasn't moving well and we just took him
out. He's questionable. I think he's going to play, but right now we'll
wait and see."
On the bright side, Marquis Daniels went through a full practice and looks "great," and the guys worked hard.
"They responded with a great practice, so that's good. We have to get
back to work, back to that workman mentality — back to being the best
defensive team in the NBA," Rivers said. "We have to get back to
executing better. We can't just keep relying on guys coming back from
injuries. That's thrown us off because of a lack of practice time, but
that's become an excuse around here and we're not going to allow that.
We can't allow that."
