Celtics Notebook: Injured Avery Bradley remains home while team takes off for four-game road trip

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Avery Bradley, upon further review, will most likely remain back home getting treatment on his strained Achilles tendon instead of traveling with the team on a four-city road trip that begins tonight against the Sacramento Kings.

According to coach Brad Stevens, the continued soreness in the guard’s right foot makes it unlikely he’ll play before the upcoming All-Star break, if only because of limited opportunities to work back into game shape.

“If he comes back before the All-Star break, it might be a surprise now, just because by the time we get back in Boston we don’t have a practice,” Stevens said before last night’s practice at the Kings’ new downtown arena.
