Boston coach Doc Rivers just addressed the status of guard Paul Pierce, who suffered a sprained right knee in last night’s game.

“Well, he didn’t have to tell me a lot. I talked to him, though, and just watching him walk, you can see he’s — it’s tender, it’s still, it’s swollen a little bit. You know, no structural damage, which is good news,” Rivers said.

Asked what Pierce would be able to do today, Rivers said: “We’re not going to do anything anyway. We’re going to watch film today and shoot free throws. I don’t think he could play today, to be honest. But you know, he’ll be ready by Sunday.”
