Pierce said Friday his knee was stiff and swollen and he will not practice over the next two days to get treatment. The 10-year veteran described his injury as a sharp pain. He plans to put off an MRI until after the season.
Pierce was carried from the floor by teammates and carted to the locker room in a wheelchair in the third quarter Thursday night. He returned and finished with 22 points as the Celtics beat the Lakers 98-88.
