The Boston Celtics injuries continue to pile up through the first half against the New York Knicks at TD Banknorth Garden.
The Celtics came into the game with starting power forward Kevin Garnett (strained abdominal) and starting center Kendrick Perkins (strained left shoulder) unavailable, but they can add forwards Brian Scalabrine and Glen Davis to the list.
Scalabrine left the court after playing 2:37. He has a strained groin and will not return. Davis went down in the second quarter under the Celtics basket. The rookie big man has a strained left quadricep.
Celtics backup center Scot Pollard is still working his way back after missing several games with left ankle soreness.
The All-Star break doesn't seem able to get here fast enough for the Celtics.
Boston did lead 53-40 at the half.
