Kevin Garnett skips matchup with ailing Celtics

The Celtics will indeed have a shakeup in their rotation when they host the Timberwolves tonight, but the changes have come more out of necessity than coach's decision.

Jared Sullinger (back spasms) and Amir Johnson (sore left foot) will not play. David Lee and Kelly Olynyk will start in their places.

"Amir's going to continue to rest, and hopefully gets better by the minute, by the day," said Brad Stevens. "He's a little bit better today."

On the other side of the court, Kevin Garnett was expected to miss the game for Minnesota as part of a rest day.
