Boston Celtics small forward Paul Pierce worked out Monday and experienced limited soreness in his bruised right heel, but coach Doc Rivers does not believe Pierce will be ready to play tonight at Miami.
“He worked out (Monday), went pretty well,” Rivers said. “He didn’t get as sore, so that’s a good sign. He’s not going to play tonight — I doubt it, at least.”
Sasha Pavlovic started in place of the injured Pierce on Sunday at New York, logging 15 minutes and zero points.
Marquis Daniels came off the bench to in favor of Pavlovic, recording four points, six rebounds and five assists in 30 minutes of action.
