“It’s disappointing,” Celtics head coach Doc Rivers said. “Obviously when a player goes down, that’s disappointing, especially on what Avery has given us this year. His growth this year has been terrific, and it’s been great, and he’s become a very valuable piece to our basketball team.”
Bradley was drafted 19th by the Celtics in the 2010 NBA Draft. This year Bradley became a key ingredient in the Celtic’s success. He averaged 21.4 minutes per-game, scoring 7.6 point-per-game while being noticed by some throughout the league for his defense (he earned some votes for the NBA’s All-Defensive teams).
