Keyon Dooling (knee) will not play against the Thunder Monday. It's Dooling's third straight missed game. He was playing 18.3 minutes per game as Rajon Rondo's backup.

Keyon Dooling (knee) has been announced as out for Friday's and Saturday's Celtics games. Boston's backup PG duties will be handled by Avery Bradley for the Celtics' next couple of matchups.

Keyon Dooling (knee) missed practice Thursday. Dooling is questionable for Friday's game against the Bulls. He's averaging 7.0 points per game as Rajon Rondo's backup this season.

The Celtics want Keyon Dooling to shoot the basketball more often. Doc Rivers said that he's playing too much point guard, a product of not having anybody reliable behind Rajon Rondo to orchestrate the offense. Even if Dooling sees an increase in shot attempts, he's averaging just 6.8 points in 19 minutes per game and is not a fantasy option.

Keyon Dooling is serving as a mentor to Rajon Rondo this season. "I think it's big because he's a veteran point guard, he has a lot of great information for me. I can learn a lot from him," said Rondo. Dooling is facilitating the maturation of Rondo as a player. It's been beneficial so far, as Rondo is averaging 16.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, 10.5 assists and 1.3 steals over his first six games.

Keyon Dooling scored 18 points off the bench on Tuesday, hitting 5-of-10 shots from the field (including four threes) with no other statistics besides a steal in 24 minutes. This will be on the short list for Dooling's best game of the season, and unless you're in a 30-team league we don't expect you to chase these numbers.

Keyon Dooling has officially signed with the Celtics. The Celtics also get a protected second-round pick in 2012, while sending Milwaukee the rights to Albert Miralles (simply a place-holder in the deal). Dooling slots into the backup PG role and is another short-term, cheap addition to the Celtics' bench.

Veteran point guard Keyon Dooling will sign with the Celtics on Friday when free agency starts. Dooling comes over from Milwaukee and will likely be Rajon Rondo's primary back up - as long as Rondo is still a Celtic on opening night.

Keyon Dooling hinted that he may be interested in joining the Miami Heat. "I could see that, but who wouldn't jump at the opportunity?" Dooling said. He's expected to be the odd man out in Milwaukee with the team now rostering Brandon Jennings, Beno Udrih and Shaun Livingston, but his comments are rather interesting given that he's still under contract with the Bucks.

Keyon Dooling's role with the Bucks may be threatened by the arrival of Beno Udrih and Shaun Livingston. Luke Ridnour is gone and Earl Boykins' contract has expired, but Dooling is still buried in the Bucks' backcourt. He averaged 7.1 points on sub-40% shooting in 80 games last season, making it hard for the NBA's lowest-scoring offense to pair him with Brandon Jennings, a career 37.9% shooter.
