Terry Rozier initially tried to play through knee injury

Knee injuries aren't good. Lying about knee injuries aren't good. But with the depth in the Celtics' rotation these days, can you blame Terry Rozier for not raising his hand when a tweak in his knee swelled up on the team's European excursion? According to a report be ESPN's Chris Forsberg, the guard will miss both preseason games this week in New York.

Rozier, the 16th overall pick in June's draft, said he initially tweaked the knee near the start of training camp chasing a loose ball. He didn't tell the team's medical staff, believing the injury to be minor, but swelling became an issue overseas.
