Avery Bradley is spending the offseason working on his ballhandling.
Bradley proved after Rajon Rondo (knee) went down that he's not a point guard, and he's much better suited playing off the ball. "Avery's biggest weakness is creating his own shot," Bradley's trainer said. He is expected to open up next season as the starting shooting guard for Boston. Jun 5 - 9:15 AM

Avery Bradley - G - Celtics

Avery Bradley will be held out of Summer League to get rest.

Jared Sullinger (knee surgery) will also sit out, which leaves Fab Melo and 2013 draft picks to headline the Celtics' squad in Orlando. It's not surprising to see Boston playing it safe with Bradley, as he had two shoulder surgeries last summer and played through rib and collarbone injuries in April.

Avery Bradley - G - Celtics

Avery Bradley is expected to play in Game 3 despite showing up late for practice on Thursday.

Bradley's tardiness isn't a big deal, but he's averaging just 10.5 points and 3.0 assists in two playoff games, despite logging nearly 35 minutes per game. "Avery's a good basketball player, but we never wanted him to be in the position of facilitating offense," said Doc Rivers. Jason Terry is shooting 3-of-13 in the series, Courtney Lee is 0-of-2, and Jordan Crawford is 4-of-11, so there's not much to praise in Boston's backcourt.

Avery Bradley scored 15 points with three boards, four assists, three steals and one 3-pointer on 7-of-14 shooting against the Knicks on Saturday.

It was one of his better offensive games of the year for Bradley and he shot just 40.2 percent from the field this season. Bradley had a ton of open looks with Boston making plenty of extra passes and he could continue to have his shot attempts in the teens this series.

Avery Bradley scored 10 points vs. the Wizards on Sunday, giving him a season-best four straight games in double-digits.

He's also chipping in 0.7 threes and 1.3 steals per game in the past two weeks, but his fantasy value is dampened by poor shooting (37.5 percent) and an utter lack of rebounds (0.9). Amazingly, Bradley has exactly two rebounds in the past four games, a span of more than 120 minutes.

Avery Bradley (collarbone) will play against the Wizards on Sunday.

He suffered a collarbone injury on Friday and was able to return. It's worth noting that this injury has nothing to do with his shoulder injuries that cost him time in the beginning of the season, so he should be good to go.

Doc Rivers says Avery Bradley is not expected to practice Saturday afternoon.

Bradley suffered a bruised collarbone during Friday's game. He went to the locker room in the second half but eventually returned to action. Bradley deemed himself "fine" and he expects to play Sunday, but we'll sideline him just to be safe.

Avery Bradley went to the locker room in the second half with a collarbone injury and returned to the game on Friday.

It's not related to the shoulder injuries that kept him out of the lineup earlier this year and Bradley said he is fine for Sunday's game. He finished with 10 points, three assists and two 3-pointers on 3-of-12 shooting in 28 minutes.

Avery Bradley went to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Friday's game against the Cavs with a bruised collarbone and he will return.

He walked back with the team's trainer and it appears to be just a precautionary measure. Move along, there's nothing to see here.

Doc Rivers said Avery Bradley "needed" a breakout performance on offense like the one he had in a loss to the Timberwolves on Monday.

Bradley had failed to shoot 50 percent from the field since March 10 before Monday's game where he had 19 points on 8-of-14 shooting. "I told him after the game the arc was back on his shot; it wasn't flat, so that was good to see," Rivers said. Bradley is a much more appealing fantasy option when he's contributing on offense.

Avery Bradley had 19 points, two assists and a 3-pointer on 8-of-14 shooting in Monday's loss to the Timberwolves.

With Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett sidelined, Bradley decided to shoot the ball tonight. He's been pretty bad lately, failing to hit double digits in scoring in his previous eight games, but stepped up with the big guns out tonight. Don't expect him to be reliable down the stretch, but anything's possible as long as Pierce and KG continue to miss games for the Celtics.

Avery Bradley played on Friday with a split tongue, scoring eight points on 3-of-7 shooting (no threes) with zero rebounds, four assists, four steals and one block in 26 minutes.

Bradley has really struggled lately and is not a must-own player, but given his starting job and somewhat versatile fantasy game he could be worth a look if you're in a pinch.

Avery Bradley (split tongue) will play Friday night as expected.

Bradley suffered what he termed a "split tongue" after getting elbowed in the mouth Wednesday night. He never thought it would cost him any time though. Despite increased minutes in the backcourt, Bradley's offensive game continues to be a concern. The good news is that he'll likely play every game as long as he's healthy, which can't be said for the rest of Boston's key players.

Avery Bradley says he is dealing with a split tongue after taking an elbow in the mouth Wednesday night.

First of all, ouch! A split tongue? That just sounds incredibly painful. Bradley says it hurts to talk and eat, but that doesn't mean he won't play Friday night. "I'm fine. Even if I had to have stitches, I'd still play (Friday vs. Hawks)," Bradley told Scott Souza of the MetroWest Daily News. We'll sideline him just to be safe, but we fully expect Bradley in the lineup against Atlanta on Friday.

Avery Bradley - G - Celtics

Avery Bradley struggled with his shot again on Tuesday and hit just 3-of-11 for six points, three rebounds and zero assists in an ugly loss to the Knicks.

He's a defensive specialist, but his offense is a serious concern, as he's shooting just 30 percent over his last 11 games. And the fact he managed to make it through an entire game without an assist is another big red flag.
