Ray Allen (ankle) admitted that bone spurs were a part of the problem. Doc Rivers previously called Allen's injury not of the serious variety, but he hasn't played since April 10 and has already been ruled out for Tuesday. "It's still being a little troublesome, but it's getting better," he said. Although Allen ran on it for the first time in a few days on Monday, it doesn't sound like he's closing in on a return. Avery Bradley will continue to see extended minutes at shooting guard.
