Keyon Dooling, who works in an executive role for the Celtics, says he doesn't plan on making a comeback after all. Dooling made the announcement Wednesday on Twitter. After the Celtics lost Rajon Rondo (torn ACL) for the season, Dooling said he had "entertained thoughts" about returning this season. Coach Doc Rivers even admitted he'd told Dooling to start getting back into basketball shape, but it appears GM Danny Ainge was correct when he said the 32-year-old Dooling isn't an option.

Doc Rivers told Keyon Dooling to get back into basketball shape as his return to the Celtics is a possibility. GM Danny Ainge had said that Dooling was not an option, but it appears he is. Now 32 years old, Dooling has done work for the Celtics front office since retiring in the offseason.

In the wake of Rajon Rondo's torn ACL, Keyon Dooling, now 32 years old, could consider a comeback. Dooling works in an executive role for the Celtics, but he could return to the floor. "I'm not in shape, but I would [consider it]," he said. Dooling has "entertained thoughts" of returning, but Rondo's injury could expedite a decision from the veteran.

Keyon Dooling is not interested in joining the Heat, contrary to previous speculation. "Keyon has decided that he has given the NBA 12 good years and that it's time to pursue other interests and spend more time with his family," his agent said. "He will never forget his time with the Boston Celtics." Even if Dooling does come out of retirement, he's not a fantasy asset.

Heat beat writer Ira Winderman believes that the Heat could make a play for Keyon Dooling. Dooling was waived by the Celtics on Thursday in order to spend more time with his family and the idea is that he'll retire, but Dooling lives in Florida and has "long been a Heat favorite." Dooling would provide a veteran presence behind Mario Chalmers and Norris Cole, but we're filing this under speculation for now.

Guard Keyon Dooling was surprisingly waived by the Celtics on Thursday and will retire, according to his agent. The Celtics are thin at point guard and as of now, it looks like Jason Terry is going to be Rajon Rondo's primary back up. Dooling will hang it up after 12 NBA seasons, and was expected to help at point guard this season.

Celtics re-sign G Keyon Dooling. Dooling missed 22 games due to injury during the shortened 2011-12 season, averaging 14 minutes per game, and we don't expect his playing time to increase with both Courtney Lee and Jason Terry filling out the Celtics' backcourt. The deal is for one year at the veteran's minimum.

The Celtics and Keyon Dooling have agreed on a one-year deal for the veteran's minimum. Doc Rivers loves Dooling's defense and veteran presence in the second unit, where he and Jason Terry will likely split play-making duties behind Rajon Rondo. Though a valuable addition for Boston, he's not a fantasy asset.

The Celtics may pad their backcourt by re-signing veteran PG Keyon Dooling. The cap-conscious Celtics could retain Dooling on a veteran's minimum deal, or via his Bird Rights, without affecting their luxury-tax status. They may do so to keep a true backup PG on the roster, as their other three guards (Courtney Lee, Avery Bradley and Jason Terry) are all natural SGs.

Keyon Dooling (illness) confirmed that he will be available for Game 7 on Saturday. The Celtics are going to play Rajon Rondo as many minutes as he can possibly handle with their season on the line, and Dooling isn't likely to exceed his playoff-average of nine minutes per game.
