WALTHAM, Mass. Authentic Antrel Rolle Jersey . -- Bostons Kevin Garnett is expected to miss at least a week with inflammation in his left ankle as the Celtics practice patience with their 36-year-old star. Coach Doc Rivers, preparing his team for a playoff run, said on Monday he doesnt think Garnett will be out for the long term. "I dont know what long term is," Rivers said before practice. "If you mean that hes not going to play this year, no, I dont worry about that. But can he miss four or five games? Yeah, thats possible." Garnett sat out Saturday nights 110-106 loss at Memphis and will miss Tuesday nights home game against the New York Knicks, Rivers said. The Celtics busy stretch continues Wednesday night at Cleveland, Friday night at home against the Atlanta Hawks, Sunday night at New York and Monday at Minnesota. Boston general manager Danny Ainge wasnt sure how much time Garnett would miss. "I think that its not longer than three weeks or it could be a week," he said. "Ill guess two weeks just because we want to make sure hes really ready. We need to get him fresh anyway." Garnetts absence may hurt the Celtics chances to move up from the seventh spot in the Eastern Conference standings, but Rivers wants Garnett to be as healthy as possible when he returns. "Were going to err on the right side," he said. "If they give me an option of you can play him every third game or give him two weeks rest, I can tell you right now, Im going to say two weeks rest ... because at the end of the day, I want him right. I dont want him half right." Guard Courtney Lee, who missed the game against the Grizzlies with a sprained left ankle, might return on Tuesday night, Rivers said. Lee and Garnett both missed practice Monday. The health problems are the latest in a string of injuries that already have sidelined guards Rajon Rondo and Leandro Barbosa and forward Jared Sullinger for the season. Barbosa was traded to the Washington Wizards after being hurt. "Kevin went down and Courtney Lee going down, sometimes it kind of wears on you mentally because thats pretty much how the season has gone for us," Paul Pierce said. "Some way, somehow weve got to pick ourselves back up. Its been kind of devastating with the injuries so far, but weve got to find a way to persevere and fight through it." Tuesdays game could be a preview of a first-round playoff series, and Pierce thinks beating the Knicks on Tuesday or Sunday -- or both -- could send a message. "You get a chance to beat them a couple of more times, it really takes away a teams confidence going into the playoffs and so thats got to be a little extra motivation," Pierce said. "Theyve been playing well all year long. Theyre on top of the Atlantic Division. But right now its about heading to the playoffs, picking up the pace." The Knicks (42-26) have won their last four games after losing four in a row. The Celtics (36-33) have dropped their last four, matching their second longest losing streak of the season. Boston has struggled on defence and Garnetts absence wont help. In three of the last four games, opponents have shot better than 43.9 per cent, the Celtics field-goal defence for the season. Rivers knew that Garnetts absence vs. Memphis was going to be a problem, especially since it was Bostons second game in as many nights. "Back-to-back (games), no Kevin, no Courtney, a lot of new guys that were going to play," he said. "As a coach, youre just trying to find a way to win." Now the Celtics have had two days without a game, resting on Sunday and practicing on Monday, as they head into a stretch of five games in seven days. "We just havent played well lately," Rivers said. "We just have to get it back and having all these guys in and out doesnt help, obviously. But everyone goes through it. New York went through it out on the road where they had all the injuries and then they kind of gathered themselves and now theyre winning again even though they still have injuries. "I think were going to have to go through that same thing right now."

Hirscher, who was third in Saturdays slalom, secured his first win of the season, his third consecutive podium spot and fifth so far. "I heard a lot of questions recently, like Whats going on, youre only second?" Hirscher said. "Whoa, I thought second was OK. But now I guess those questions are over. " He finished 1.16 seconds ahead of Germanys Stefan Luitz, with American Ted Ligety climbing up from sixth to finish 1.42 behind in third place on the Stade Olympique de Bellevarde course. "I think this is what the people want to see: good weather, good conditions, good skiing," the 23-year-old Hirscher said. "Its perfect to win a race, a first victory this season." The 20-year-old Luitz had by far the best time of the afternoon to climb from 25th after his first run and secure the first podium of his career. "Its hard to believe. But I had the perfect start conditions early on with the (better) light and visibility," Luitz, who is in the German army, said through a translator. "I knew there was a chance to do something. I think it will take all night for this to really sink in." Pinturault was left just as stunned as the home fans by his error as he caught an inside ski and put his hand down with the finish line in sight, missing out on the chance of a second straight success after winning Saturdays slalom. Pinturault had been second after the first run -- just 0.05 behind Hirscher -- but finished 28th after being a massive 2.71 seconds ahead of Luitz on the first time split. He was perhaps trying too hard to put pressure on Hirscher ahead of his final run. "Its a shame to come so close and to see everything crumble," Pinturault said. "Right up until the last gates I was still tryinng to win time and I made a mistake with the inside of my ski. Rocky Bernard Womens Jersey. " Ligety, meanwhile, has got his third podium of the season but missed out on a hat trick of giant slalom victories after winning the last two races. "Val dIseres always tough, its not a hill I particularly like," Ligety said. "Its not very user friendly, its very steep the whole way." Ligety was unhappy with his first run, where he finished sixth, but found some satisfaction with his second. "Im happy to salvage it," he said. "Im happy to walk away from this hill with a podium when it could easily have been a DNF (did not finish)." Aksel Lund Svindal of Norway, who finished sixth, leads the overall standings with 440 points, while Ligety is in second place with 402 and Hirscher is third on 380. Last week, Ligety narrowly edged out Hirscher to win at Beaver Creek, Colorado, thanks to a faultless second run, but he lost time on the bottom section on Sunday and looked frustrated, lowering his head as he crossed the line. "Its a very unforgiving hill," he said. "(Whereas) on a normal course you would have a little bobble and on this hill it becomes a big, big mistake." Still, Ligety praised Luitzs performance. "To be 25th after the first run and beat everyone by pretty much a second is very impressive," he said. Ligety will skip the downhill in Val Gardena, Italy on Saturday to concentrate on slalom training. He will race Fridays Super-G in Val Gardena, and then look for more giant slalom success in the Italian resort of Alta Badia on Sunday. Ligety leads the overall GS standings by 20 points from Hirscher. U.S. mens coach Sasha Rearick said it was a disappointing day overall, with Tommy Ford and Robby Kelley failing to qualify for the second run. Will Gregorak did not start the first run. "We as a team skied too conservative in the first run," Rearick said. "Fortunately, Ted is such a fast skier that skiing conservative still keeps him in the game." ' ' '
