Avery Bradley (Achilles') out for Celtics' next two games

Boston Celtics guard Avery Bradley (Achilles') will not play in the final two games prior to the All-Star break.

What It Means:

He's going to miss both Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers as well as Thursday's matchup against the Chicago Bulls, but head coach Brad Stevens said he's hopeful Bradley will be able to practice after the break. Marcus Smart will continue to start in his absence with Isaiah Thomas running the show on offense.

Bradley is averaging 17.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.3 steals over 34.9 minutes per game. He owns a career-best .545 effective field goal percentage and a -0.5 nERD, which ranks 257th in the NBA.
