The Celtics have lost back-up SG/SF Marquis Daniels for the next 6-8 weeks due to thumb surgery. Daniels has played in 19 games (0 starts) for the Celtics this season and he is averaging 20.4 minutes, 5.7 points, 2.0 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. Maybe the Celtics will get Tony Allen out of the mothballs and get him some court time now. Allen has only played in 1 game for the Celtics this season playing in six minutes in which he has not scored. He does have 1 rebound and 1 assist on the year. The Celtics should be able to handle being without Daniels as they have a really deep basketball team.
