Celtics guard Shane Larkin will miss the first two games of the Eastern Conference finals and may not be available at all, tweets Jay King of MassLive.
Coach Brad Stevens provided a medical update today on Larkin, who sprained his left shoulder in Game 5 of the series with the Sixers. Larkin had expressed hope that he could return at some point in the conference finals, which could run through May 27, but Stevens considers that doubtful.
The 25-year-old developed into a rotation player during his first season with Boston, playing 54 games and averaging 4.3 points in 14.4 minutes per night. He will be a free agent this summer after signing a minimum-salary deal last year.
Great update, tons of information..
What more information do you need? He sprained his left shoulder and will miss at least two games. Do you want to know how he felt sleeping on his shoulder last night or what?
Well, he is not a great miss… is not like Boston is gonna loose the series for him not being there, is the 4th pg in the team, but hopefully he’ll get better & can come back soon
