Practice report

A couple of items to hit on...

* Courtney Lee fully participated in today's practice. Lee missed the last two games after injuring his left knee in Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Lee said he expects to play tomorrow against the Milwaukee Bucks.

"I'm going to shoot for it," Lee said. "It's up to coach if he puts me in or not."

* Kelly Olynyk shot some free throws, but that was the extent of his practice. The 7-foot forward is dealing with what head coach Brad Stevens said is a "significant ankle sprain," and it is unknown when he will return to action.

"Kelly is out and I think that probably still might be a week from what I can tell," Stevens said. "I don’t know the exact timeline on Kelly. It was a significant sprain, so we’re going to be smart and give him appropriate time to come back."

* According to Stevens, Rajon Rondo did "some practice" today, but there have been no advancements in his progress. Rondo was on the court in full practice gear with a brace on his right knee. He did some light shooting.

Rondo is set to meet with Dr. James Andrews in the coming weeks, and from there he is expected to be cleared for full-contact drills.

"He’s doing a lot in practice but he hasn’t been cleared for anything above that," Stevens said.

* Count Jared Sullinger among those who will not tolerate with any "tanking" talk. Sullinger told reporters today that just because outsiders do not have high expectations for this team, that does not mean that the team is giving in.

"Lot of guys expect us to just like tank for [top draft prospects Jabari] Parker or [Andrew] Wiggins," Sullinger said. "Y’all might as well throw that out the door. I don’t know why people keep talking about tanking. We got competitors around here, we’re not really like that. We don’t care if Jeff [Green] averages 20 [points per game] or I average 8, we just want to win. And show everybody that they can kiss our butts about that tanking stuff."
