The Celtics had initially set a target date for just after All-Star Weekend for Marquis Daniels to return to game action. That might be moved up a bit if his left thumb is feeling good enough.
"He's getting close, so that's a good sign," head coach Doc Rivers told the Boston Herald. "If we can get the New Orleans game in, that would be terrific. That would give him a game before All-Star break to try to get his legs and get some type of rhythm, then come out of All-Star break and we've got our whole team intact for the first time this year."
