"We were made aware of the February incident involving Kenny Hasbrouck which occurred prior to him joining the team in March," the team said in a statement. "Right now the organization's focus is entirely on the playoffs. As a consequence, Hasbrouck will not be with the team for the next two games." The Alb |

BOSTON (AP) -The Boston Celtics didn't miss Kevin Garnett at all, not the way Glen Davis filled in to lead them to a 106-77 victory over the Miami Heat on Tuesday night and a 2-0 lead in their playoff series. With Garnett serving a one-game suspension for elbowing Quentin Richardson in Game 1, Davis started and had 23 points and eight rebounds, going aggressively to the basket to grab missed shots and draw fouls. The Heat took a 29-25 lead on a dunk by Jermaine O'Neal. But the Celtics used a 44-8 s |

BOSTON (AP) -Coach Doc Rivers has picked Glen Davis to start in place of suspended Kevin Garnett for the Boston Celtics. Rivers said he chose Davis over Rasheed Wallace for Game 2 against the Miami Heat on Tuesday night because of Davis' ability to move his feet more quickly. Rivers said Miami's Dwyane Wade was involved in 36 pick-and-roll plays on offense in the Celtics' 85-76 victory Saturday and the more active Davis was a better fit to control that. Wallace is 2 inches taller and a better 3-poi |

BOSTON (AP) -The last two times the Boston Celtics were missing Kevin Garnett against the Miami Heat they came away with wins. They get another, unwanted chance on Tuesday night. With Garnett suspended for one game for throwing an elbow at Quentin Richardson in the final minute of Boston's win in the playoff opener, the Celtics will be without their emotional leader and one of their best passers and defenders. But the Heat still expect a tough game. Garnett said Monday he wasn't surprised by th |

NEW YORK (AP) -Kevin Garnett has been suspended by the NBA for the Boston Celtics second playoff game against the Miami Heat.

The league also fined Richardson $25,000. The altercation occurred near Miami's bench while Boston's Paul Pierce lay on the floor with an apparent right shoulder injury. Garnett said he |

On Saturday night, Garnett and the Celtics will face the Miami Heat. It will be his first playoff game since Boston won Game 6 of the 2008 NBA Finals over the Los Angeles Lakers to capture its 17th title. It was Garnett's first championship and he screamed and wept on the Boston court moments after the game.Copyrigh |

They start the playoffs on Saturday night when the Miami Heat visit Boston. Home-court advantage may not mean much since the Celtics were 24-17 there and 26-15 on the road. And they lost seven of their last 10 games. They were 3-0 in the regular season against the Heat.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Pr |
