Kevin Garnett Has Calf Muscle Injury, Not Fractured Knee, As Boston Fans Breathe Easy

The entire Boston Celtic fanbase breathed a sigh of release as news came out that Kevin Garnett’s fear-inducing injury in Wendesday night’s game was calf-muscle related and not a fracture or knee injury.

A Celtics team spokesman confirms to Ken Berger of CBSSports.com that the injury is to KG’s lower right leg, not his knee and multiple folks are confirming the calf injury story.

X-rays had of course come back negative on the injury as well. And so now we wait for the overnight MRI results to confirm it. All in all, based on what they saw, Celtic fans have to take that news and run.
