Good news for Celtics fans. Here’s KG’s quote from the Boston Globe Celtics Blog

“I don’t have any knee problems. I don’t have any knee problems. I’m not trying to get in depth with my injury and all that but the things are bothering me are secondary and not even primary. So I’m excited about that because it’s nothing be strengthening the knee and playing again. You gotta remember, I have been out since what, March? I haven’t done anything since then. I have just been rehabbing, strengthing. Nothing simulates basketball play. The pounding, the churning, the reactions, the stuff you have to react to in games you can’t get that in trying to that with the rehab and the trainers and all that other stuff.

“I feel really good, I wouldn’t (BS) you guys if I was hurting I would tell you. I’m pretty straight up with everything that’s going on with me. I feel good. I’m excited about how we are and I’m just trying to get my part together to make sure I’m ready for when we need to be like we need to be.”

Some NBA fans were concerned after this video of a limping Garnett appeared online two days ago, but according to Garnett there is no need to worry.

The Celtics also broadcast an open scrimmage yesterday on nba.com and Garnett seemed to be moving smoothly.  Unfortunately, the NBAtv camera crew concentrated their cameras on commentators and players on the bench instead of the actual game, so fans will now have to wait until preseason to see if Garnett’s knee is truly better.
