Some of the young players will need to step up when any of the veterans go down.
The preseason tour of Europe continues for the Boston Celtics, but the team will be a bit shorthanded at this next stop.
The Celtics will be without three players for Thursday's game against Real Madrid. Perry Jones has been excused from the team for personal reasons due to a death in the family. Evan Turner is nursing a right knee sprain, while Amir Johnson will sit out with an illness.
It sounds like there must be a bug going around.
