The Celtics will be without starting small forward Paul Pierce for the next couple of weeks due to a infection in his left knee. Pierce has played in 27 games (all starts) this season for the Celtics and he is averaging 35.4 minutes, 18.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.2 steals per game. The Celtics have a deep team and they should be able to get by for a couple of weeks without their leading scorer.
