AFP - The Boston Celtics lost more than just an NBA game to the Detroit Pistons 104-92 as star forward Kevin Garnett left in the first quarter with a leg injury and did not return.
The 13-time all-star Garnett injured his right leg when he jumped for a dunk then hung on the rim and dropped to fell to the floor. He limped off the court and went to the dressing room.
Boston coach Doc Rivers said the injury isn't serious but couldn't say when Garnett would be able to play again. It was just the second loss for Boston in their last 17 games.
"I don't think it's bad so I'm not that concerned. He may miss some games," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said.
Paul Pierce scored a team-high 33 points for the Celtics, who dropped to 24-6 on the season.
Boston was also without point guard Rajon Rondo, who missed his sixth straight game with a sprained left ankle.
Tracy McGrady led Detroit with 21 points. The Pistons led 45-37 at half time and extended that to 16 in the third quarter.
