Boston center Kendrick Perkins’ sprained right knee will keep him out of Game 7 of the NBA finals.
Celtics coach Doc Rivers confirmed Wednesday that his starting center won’t play in the season finale against the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night, dealing a blow to Boston’s hopes of winning its 18th championship.
InsideHoops.com says:
I’d have favored the Lakers over Celtics in a Game 7 in Los Angeles anyway, but with Perkins out it obviously makes Boston even more of an underdog.
