The Celtics have lost Glen “Big Baby” Davis indefinately as he recently has underwent surgery to repair his right thumb that was injured in a fight with an ex-teammate in Louisiana. Davis’ injury won’t hurt the Celtics too much as Rasheed Wallace will likely pick up all of his minutes in addition to backing up Kendrick Perkins at center. Still, the Celtics are a better team with Davis on the active roster so they hope that he will be ready to return to action soon.

UPDATE: Davis will miss two months as he recovers from surgery to repair his broken thumb. He was also indefinately suspended by the Celtics which was deserved.

The Celtics will be without 21-year old shooting guard Bill Walker for the next 6-8 weeks as he has had surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee. He played in 29 games (0 starts) as a rookie last season for the Celtics and he averaged 7.4 minutes, 3.0 points, 1.0 rebound and 0.4 assists per game. The Celtics won’t miss Walker too much as he is likely #4 of #5 on the depth chart at shooting guard right now.

Scot Pollard will miss the remainder of the season with a torn tendon in his left ankle. He played in 22 games (0 starts) for the Celtics this year and he averaged 7.9 minutes, 1.8 points, 1.7 rebounds and 0.1 assists per game. The Celtics won’t miss Pollard as he wasn’t getting any playing time anyway.

The Celtics have decided to shut down Paul Pierce for the remainder of the season due to an elbow injury. The fact that Pierce only played in 47 games is the single biggest reason for the awful season that the Celtics endured this year. Pierce averaged 25.0 points, 5.9 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game this season and those numbers were way to hard for the Celtics to replace. Hopefully they’ll get lucky at Draft Lottery time.

Brian Scalabrine is done for the season due to a hamstring injury. The Celtics didn’t need another injury as they might have to sign a few players off the street to finish the season. He played in 54 games this season and he averaged 19.0 minutes, 4.0 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game. The thing the Celtics will miss most about Scalabrine is that he’s a good outside shooter.
