Keyon Dooling returned to action on Thursday January 26.

Keyon Dooling left Thursday's game with a hip pointer and did not return. If it's not one thing it's another for the Celtics right now. Dooling finished with one 3-point bucket to his credit on two shot attempts in nine minutes.

Keyon Dooling (knee) said he plans on returning Thursday.

Keyon Dooling (knee) missed his fifth straight game on Friday and is questionable for Sunday's game against the Wizards. Dooling would be an interesting spot-start if he's given a start with Rajon Rondo (wrist) out, but that's about it. The Celtics scored just 71 points against a struggling Suns team on Friday, so they might opt for the veteran hand over Avery Bradley, who was kept away from PG duties in the loss.

Keyon Dooling (knee) is unlikely to play on Friday. Dooling had been targeting Friday for his return, but he had a setback with his injury and was unable to practice on Thursday. Doc Rivers said "I don't know" when asked when Dooling will return. Dooling has missed the last four games.

Keyon Dooling (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Suns. Dooling did not practice Thursday. It's really bad timing for him as Rajon Rondo (wrist) is expected to be sidelined at least one game. Avery Bradley was the Celtics' first-team point guard at Thursday's practice.

Keyon Dooling said that his knee injury is specifically related to his MCL. "A big part of my game is lateral quickness as far as defense," he said. Dooling admitted that element of his game is limited with the injury, and he doesn't know the extent of it other than it's related to his MCL. Dooling remains hopeful to return on Friday.

Keyon Dooling (knee) did not participate in shootaround on Wednesday. Dooling was taking shots and doing light drills on the side, so his target date of a Friday return remains very much in sight. He'll return to a reserve role in the second unit once he's healthy, but doesn't warrant consideration outside of very deep leagues.

Keyon Dooling returned to action on Monday January 16.

Keyon Dooling (knee) is "likely" to return on Friday. Dooling was expected to miss a week with his knee injury and a Friday return would confirm that timetable. Once he returns, he'll resume his backup role in the rotation but won't be of interest to fantasy owners in standard sized leagues.
