Boston Celtics forward Brian Scalabrine will play in Game 5 tonight at the TD Banknorth Garden.
According to reports earlier today, Scalabrine did not participate in the morning shoot around and had been feeling ill. However, he was on the court warming up for tonight's game and Celtics head coach Doc Rivers confirmed that he will be available.
"He is feeling better, he's been able to keep his food down the last couple of hours," River said.
There will be no restrictions heading into the game, and the plan is to play it by ear as the game goes along.
"We're just going to play him," River said. "Obviously, if he's out there and you see that he's struggling then you'll react, but athletes have that ability at times. We're hoping he can muscle his way through it. You just don't know. We'll just wait and see."
