Boston Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge said Thursday afternoon that an MRI (and further examinations) confirmed that Kevin Garnett's injury is indeed a muscle injury in his calf area of his right leg and not to his surgically repaired knee.
Ainge, speaking on Boston sports radio station WEEI, estimated Garnett would miss, at the most, two weeks with the injury.
“It’s actually the muscle just off the side of the leg below the knee,” Ainge explained. “It’s not anything to do with his knee, which is great news. He may be out for a couple of weeks, at the most. ... I think that’s on the conservative side.”
