LOS ANGELES – Kendrick Perkins(notes) arrived at practice on a pair of tall crutches with his right knee wrapped, immediately ending any speculation whether the Boston Celtics’ injured center could make a miraculous return for the seventh game of the NBA Finals.
Perkins confirmed what Yahoo! Sports first reported Tuesday evening: He won’t play in the Finals’ decisive game after tearing his medial collateral ligament and partially tearing his posterior cruciate ligament. Perkins, who was hurt after landing awkwardly in the first quarter of Game 6, will receive an MRI on his right knee Friday in Boston. He doesn’t know when he’ll be back on the court and will miss USA Basketball’s minicamp this summer. Doctors told Perkins if he had suffered the injury in December, he would have missed the remainder of the season. -
