Jason Terry said his knee was an issue all season and admitted the injury limited him and forced him to play cautiously.

Terry underwent surgery recently, which the guard said he wanted to put off until after the season ended. Terry said he expects to be 100 percent by the time training camp opens and still believes the Celtics' goal is to compete for a title next season despite all of the offseason rumblings to the contrary.

Jason Terry recently underwent arthroscopic knee surgery and is expected to be ready for training camp.

Terry's procedure was to "remove the plica from his left knee." The plica is "described as an extension of the protective synovial capsule of the knee," and it has the potential to become irritated. "I saw him today, and he looked great," Danny Ainge said. We're not very concerned.

Jason Terry wants his role to be "defined" next season with the Celtics.

Terry dismissed the notion of retirement. "I have to get back to Sixth Man of the Year form," he said. Terry was a disappointment for the majority of Boston's season, and put bluntly, he'll need to play better in order to regain his previous form.

Jason Terry hit five 3-pointers in Wednesday's surprising 92-86 Game 5 win at Madision Square Garden, while adding 17 points, four boards, three assists, one steal and one block in 35 minutes.

After falling apart down the stretch this season, Terry has really turned it on and showed some confidence in a post-game interview on TNT. "I'm a 14-year veteran. If you don't know who I am by now, you will after this series is over with," Terry said. The Knicks will have to honor Terry's shooting on defense and Game 6 in Boston on Friday night should be interesting.

Jason Terry finished strong in Sunday's 97-90 win over the Knicks with nine points in overtime, finishing with 18 points, four assists, one steal and one 3-pointer on 7-of-10 shooting in 41 minutes.

This hasn't been Terry's finest series and this game was his first in which he shot over 45 percent. Terry hit a huge triple in transition during overtime to help the put the Celtics up for good. Backcourt scoring has been an issue for Boston for most of the season and they'll still have their work cut out for them to take Game 5 on Wednesday.

Jason Terry will head back to the bench for Sunday's Game 4 vs. New York.

Terry started Game 3 with the Celtics searching desperately for some offense, but the one-game experiment was exactly that: Just an experiment. Terry will go back to his sixth man role, but he's had trouble being effective against the Knicks throughout the first round.

Doc Rivers said he's not sure if Jason Terry will remain in the starting lineup for Sunday's Game 4.

Terry got the call Friday, with Rivers hoping Terry's presence in the lineup would take pressure off Avery Bradley. It didn't work. Bradley had his worst game of the series, scoring two points on 1-of-4 shooting to go along with one rebound, one steal and no assists. Terry, however, responded with possibly his best game in the loss, scoring 14 points to go along with three 3-pointers, two steals, two assists and one rebound. With the Celtics down 3-0, Rivers is basically grasping at straws.

Jason Terry is starting in favor of Brandon Bass against the Knicks on Friday.

"We can add more guards on the floor at times," Doc River said. It's a curious move and Terry was much worse as a starter for Boston this year. In his 24 starts, he shot 41.2 percent from the field compared to the 44.5 percent he shot coming off the bench. It should be interesting to see how the lineup change works for Boston in a must-win Game 3.

Jason Terry (leg) had a rough afternoon against the Knicks on Saturday, failing to score with three boards and one block.

The Boston bench scored just four points -- all from Courtney Lee -- and Terry probably won't see 20 minutes of playing time with this type of performance. He didn't play in the last two games, but the chalking up today's game to rust isn't a justified excuse.

Jason Terry (sore legs) will not play Wednesday night.

The Celtics are resting Terry for the postseason, along with Kevin Garnett, who is also sitting out the regular-season finale. If you were using him, get him out of your lineup tonight. Courtney Lee should take care of Terry's minutes off the bench.
