Paul Pierce's Knee, Through the Eyes of a Specialist
I said I wanted to hear from a doctor about Paul Pierce's knee . So I called one. Surgeon Nick DiNubile is Orthopaedic Consultant to the Philadelphia 76ers, and an expert on sports injuries to knees. Of course, he has not examined Paul Pierce's knee, so he can't make any real diagnosis. But he did see the highlights of Pierce being dragged off the court in agony, and his gut reaction ...

Why ... hasn't Paul Pierce had an MRI?
Ball Don't Lie — ... It's still an odd thing to read, that a few days after his famous fall down, that the Celtics' eight-figure asset has yet to have an MRI.

The Boston medical staff has to know that a major ligament tear isn't likely, so why not explore further? ...

Want Some Cheese with that Whine?
LOY's PLACE a celtics green blog — ... Then there was the fact that Perk fell on Pierce's leg and he was carried off the court and then wheeled to the locker room in a wheel chair. He felt a pop and serious pain and was carried off as a precautionary measure. I am sure the wheel chair was because Tony and Scal didn't want carry him all the way to the locker room.
