Nets forward Paul Pierce practiced today for the first time since fracturing the third metacarpal bone in his right hand and thinks there's a "good chance" he'll play tomorrow night against his former team, the Celtics.
Pierce has missed the last five games. He was initially supposed to miss two to four weeks with the injury.
"There's a good chance (I play tomorrow), but I'm not sure right now," Pierce said after today's practice. "Like I said, I feel good. I didn't really get tested. I'd like to get tested, as far as getting hit (contact). But I thought I shot the ball really well and got up and down well."
Pierce plans to go through shootaround before tomorrow's game and then make a decision on his status.
