No specific date given, but Washburn did a few interviews with Danny Ainge and this Bradley status came out with those reports, the 'source ' is most likely Danny Ainge.
Can't wait.
Avery Bradley is "very close" to returning from offseason shoulder surgery, according to a source.
Bradley was shooting before the Boston Celtics' game on Friday.
Bradley's exact return date to practice remains uncertain.

great news. a tp for finding it.
the celtics as a team are still not playing well together, but adding bradley will not set them back.
i think in a couple of months the celtics will gel as a team and be ready for the playoffs. i think having bradley on board will do a lot to push this team's defensive intensity as well.
-
Man i can't flipping wait to get him back in the starting lineup!!
-
I think I'd like it better if Bradley was sent to the D-League using the new ability to send rehabbing players there and inserted directly into the starting lineup when he is ready, rather than trying to bring him along slowly off the bench.
-
hopefully this isnt an andrew bynum or andrew bogut-esque report
-
Love it.
-
remember, when Perkins returned it came out of nowhere...I wouldnt be surprised to see bradley playing in a week or two
I cant wait to get his ball pressure and defense back into our starting unit.

Yea, and Perk played a decent amount of minutes when he returned, just in time to be traded. Hopefully the same doesn't happen to Bradley.
-
I think the C's are going to take it easy on Avery's return to the court. They brought Perk back partially because they were running low on bigs at the time (Semih was the only other center at the time). The Celtics have four healthy guards at the moment so they have the luxury of working Avery back into the rotation at their own pace.
Still though, great news.

Earlier in the week, that was reported as the plan.
-
Its not close, don't listen to this kind of BS ::). Our medical staff did the same thing with countless players (JO, Perk, Shaq, KG, Powe, Allen, etc.) It usually takes 2x of weeks than the estimate given :-\

I feel bad for the d-league guys who try to dribble against him.

-
Well, when he gets back, we'll be back to being a complete team again.
Defense first, with improved offense.
-
I saw AB warming up in Orlando and he looked good man. Making shots, dunked twice, spent a lot of time out there before the game putting up shots.
I was pumped.

lol this isnt baseball.

It would be good for the D-league, too, playing against NBA caliber defense.
-
How's the D-league going to get him more ready? I'd rather see him eased back into the rotation, you don't want to give anybody recovering from injury that many minutes anyway.
-
bradley has come out with the team and participate in warmups the last few home games and by how he looked, u would never know he was injured. granted, its layup lines and some shooting around, but its still a good thing.
-
C's need AB's explosive play , Defense, and a healthy Wilcox run with the guards.
Combo's of Lee , AB and Rondo should provide for some fast easy buckets
I anxiously await his return...seems like forever.
-
Bradleys defense is contageous...I cant wait to see him pestering the opposing teams best guard on defense.
-
I hope he isn't rushing back before he is 100%

Several days ago he "wasn't doing anything" in practice. If "return" means "being cleared for basketball activities", I wouldn't hold my breath.
-
How well conditioned can he possibly be? He probably hasn't been able to put much pressure on those shoulders, and hasn't been playing contact, hard edged basketball yet. His shoulder/arm/back muscles may well have atrophied at least a little. I am sure, however, that he is doing all he can to get back into shape. I just want him, and JG and Wilcox in top condition for the playoffs.
Good enough to play and good enough to win playoff basketball games are two different things.

This is odd about "wasn't doing anything", weren't we provided a video a few weeks ago of Bradley shooting 3-pointers during a practice session?

I cannot wait for this guy to be back! We need it. It won't solve the problem of our lack of a big but it'll improve our defense
-
How's the D-league going to get him more ready?
Walkthroughs and practice aren't a substitute for playing full-speed under normal game conditions. I'd like to see Bradley go to the D-League and see if he is at all rusty when it comes to shooting in actual game conditions rather than have him try to find his shot in limited playing time.
-
hopefully this isnt an andrew bynum or andrew bogut-esque report
Bynum is a bum, this guy doesn't look like he cares about the game of basketball
Bogut is an unfortunate case like Oden...just way too injured
hopefully Bradley isn't like that, well thats also obvious cuz it's not his knees that is bothering him, its the shoulder surgery he is coming back from
sign me up for being very excited for him to be back
-
I think he'll being playing in another week maybe two , I'm not looking for much of an announcement.
Still need another decent BIG , but I'm still standing firm about not trading AB to get one.
-
Kinda the same way Shaq was "very close to a return" but never played another game for us?
Oh.
I don't trust anything Danny Ainge says when it comes to injuries and return time tables.
-

Actually he did play... 1 1/2 games in the playoffs (the one he played we won)...

Okay he never played another COMPLETE game for us again. He combined for 12 minutes in the playoffs.
