Andrei Kirilenko has been ruled out of Tuesday's game due to back spasms. He had a setback and remains day-to-day with the season one week away. Back spasms have been an off-and-on problem for AK throughout his career but they usually subside within a few days. In his absence, a few extra minutes will be available for Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Alan Anderson, Mirza Teletovic and others.
