Position G   Jersey Name   Avery Bradley Born   11/26/1990 Height   6-2 Weight   180 College   Texas Season Career Notes 4/7/2013 5:21:00 PM Description: Celtics guard Avery Bradley will be in the lineup Sunday against Washington. He suffered a collar bone injury late in Friday night's loss to Cleveland. Insight: Bradley is known as a defensive specialist and isn't much of a scorer (9.3 ppg in 45 appearances). He's shot just 40.1 percent from the field this season.   4/5/2013 10:08:00 PM Description: Avery Bradley's injury isn't serious. The Celtics guard suffered a bruised left collar bone and could have returned to action Friday night against Cleveland. Insight: There were only three and a half minutes left and the Celtics were losing by a decent amount so there really wasn't much point in putting Bradley back in the game. As long as Bradley doesn't suffer a setback he should be fine for Sunday's game against Washington.   4/5/2013 9:55:00 PM Description: Boston guard Avery Bradley got hurt in the fourth quarter and did not return Friday against Cleveland. Insight: This injury couldn't have come at a worse time for the reeling Celtics. It's unclear exactly what the injury is but Bradley seemed to be in a lot of pain. Remember, Bradley has had multiple surgeries on his shoulder. It's possible he could have aggravated a past injury.   3/29/2013 6:28:00 PM Description: Boston guard Avery Bradley (mouth) will play Friday. He suffered a "split tongue" after being elbowed in the mouth Wednesday night. Insight: Since Rajon Rondo went down with a season-ending knee injury, Bradley has averaged 9.6 ppg in 28 games.   3/28/2013 7:04:00 PM Description: Boston guard Avery Bradley cut his tongue Wednesday in a win against Cleveland. SOURCE: Scott Souza, MetroWest Daily News Insight: It sounds painful but Bradley doesn't believe the injury will prevent him from playing Friday night against the Hawks. Since Rajon Rondo went down with a season-ending knee injury, Bradley has averaged 9.6 ppg in 28 games.   3/5/2013 9:55:00 PM Description: Celtics guard Avery Bradley had a season-high 22 points with seven rebounds and five assists Tuesday versus Philadelphia. Insight: Bradley averaged 10.3 ppg in February with a few nice scoring games but he isn't a consistent offensive option.   1/20/2013 7:02:00 PM Description: Celtics shooting guard Avery Bradley (ribs) is doubtful to play Sunday, coach Doc Rivers said. SOURCE: Gary Washburn, Boston Globe Insight: Washburn noted that Bradley was working out on the court when Rivers said that, so there's still a chance he will go Sunday but we wouldn't count on it. If you still own Jason Terry, get him in the lineup.   1/18/2013 6:05:00 PM Description: Celtics shooting guard Avery Bradley (ribs) will sit Friday against the Bulls. SOURCE: A. Sherrod Blakely, CSNNE.com Insight: Bradley is averaging 8.1 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 steals in 23.5 minutes over eight games since making his season debut. Jason Terry and Courtney Lee will see more playing time Friday.   1/17/2013 2:19:00 PM Description: Celtics shooting guard Avery Bradley is questionable for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls after sustaining a rib injury on Wednesday. SOURCE: A. Sherrod Blakely, CSNNE.com Insight: Bradley is averaging 8.1 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 steals in 23.5 minutes over eight games since making his season debut. He should only get better as the season goes on, but probably will only make for a deep-league guard option.   1/14/2013 10:06:00 PM Description: Celtics shooting guard Avery Bradley had a season-high 16 points on 6-of-10 shooting with two blocks, one rebounds and one assist in 27:35 Monday against the Bobcats. Insight: Bradley made four threes, as many as he had made in the six games he had played since returning from shoulder surgery rehab.   1/2/2013 10:29:00 PM Description: Celtics shooting guard Avery Bradley (shoulder) started but only played 19 minutes and 31 seconds in his season debut on Wednesday against Memphis. Bradley finished with four points and one steal. Insight: Bradley hadn't played this season after having offseason surgery to repair a dislocated shoulder. The third-year guard averaged 12.3 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.1 steals in 28 starts last season but also didn't have to share shooting guard minutes with Jason Terry and Courtney Lee, both of whom were acquired in the offseason.   1/2/2013 11:02:00 AM Description: Celtics shooting guard Avery Bradley (shoulder) said he expects to return for Wednesday's game against Memphis. He should return as Boston's starting shooting guard. Insight: Bradley averaged 12.3 points on 50.4 percent shooting with 2.9 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.1 steals in 33.5 minutes per game in 28 starts last season. His return will push Courtney Lee further away from fantasy relevance, as we expect Jason Terry to receive most of the minutes as Bradley's backup.   1/1/2013 4:38:00 PM Description: Celtics shooting guard Avery Bradley (shoulder) will start upon his return to the lineup. "We had him markered down, not penciled, before the year that he was going to be the starter," Boston coach Doc Rivers said. SOURCE: A. Sherrod Blakely, CSNNE.com Insight: Bradley will likely return Wednesday against the Grizzlies barring a last-minute change of plans. He averaged 12.3 points on 50.4 percent shooting with 2.9 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.1 steals in 33.5 minutes per game in 28 starts last season. His return will push Courtney Lee further away from fantasy relevance, as we expect Jason Terry to receive most of the minutes as Bradley's backup.   12/25/2012 10:18:00 AM Description: Celtics coach Doc Rivers had hinted that there was a chance that guard Avery Bradley would make his return on Christmas Day, but that won't happen. Insight: Bradley has participated in a couple of practices in his recovery from shoulder surgery, but is targeting an early January return.   12/24/2012 10:44:00 AM Description: Celtics coach Doc Rivers told the Boston Globe there was a chance that guard Avery Bradley would make his return on Christmas Day, though the guard said he was targeting Jan. 2. Insight: Bradley has participated in a couple of practices in his recovery from shoulder surgery. He has missed the entire season to date.   12/23/2012 3:04:00 PM Description: Earlier in the week it was reported that Boston guard Avery Bradley would make his return January 2nd against Memphis but now it appears he could return even sooner. Insight: Scott Souza of the MetroWest Daily News is reporting that Avery could be available during the team's four game road-trip which runs from Christmas through December 30th. Bradley has missed the whole season so far while recovering from multiple shoulder surgeries.   12/17/2012 2:40:00 PM Description: Celtics guard Avery Bradley has been cleared to return to practice Monday and is hoping to play on Jan. 2 against Memphis. Insight: Bradley has been working his way back from offseason shoulder surgery. He averaged 15.1 ppg in 15 games last April. Jason Terry will likely move to the bench when Bradley is back at full strength.   12/12/2012 9:22:00 PM Description: Celtics guard Avery Bradley is hoping to return to practice next week according to WEEI's Mike Petraglia. Insight: Bradley has been working his way back from offseason shoulder surgery and it appears he's close to a return. Jason Terry (11.5 ppg) will likely move to the bench when Bradley is back at full strength.   12/5/2012 9:46:00 PM Description: WEEI in Boston reports Celtics shooting guard Avery Bradley is still 1-to-2 weeks away from returning to full practices. Bradley is recovering from offseason shoulder surgery. Insight: Bradley's recovery has been a slow one. When he is finally able to return we envision him splitting time at the two with Jason Terry and Courtney Lee. He's a defense specialist and his fantasy value, especially in a crowded Celtics backcourt, remains minimal.   12/1/2012 8:14:00 PM Description: Boston guard Avery Bradley didn't travel with the team for Saturday night's game in Milwaukee according to A.Sherrod Blakely from Comcast New England. Insight: He's staying in Boston to get some extra work in as he continues to recover from offseason shoulder surgery. Bradley could be ready for game action again by the end of the month. For now Jason Terry will continue to start at shooting guard for the 9-7 Celtics.   Powered by The Sports Network.
