EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- When the Minnesota Vikings play at Washington this weekend, Adrian Peterson will be returning to the scene of his devastating knee injury less than 10 months after it happened. And hes returning at close to 100 per cent. The next step in Petersons remarkable recovery comes Sunday against the Redskins. Peterson says he still thinks about that day last season when he tore the ACL in his left knee at FedEx Field. But he says hes moved on and is more focused on helping the Vikings to improve to 5-1 this season. Peterson has been bothered by a sore left ankle. But he says theres no doubt in his mind hell be able to play. NFL Jimmy Wilson Dolphins Jersey .

The Boston Celtics plodded off the court after clinching their first-round series, in search of the nearest bucket of ice. "They were excited. We were relieved," Boston coach Doc Rivers said Friday, the only off-day before the Celtics and Sixers begin the Eastern Conference semifinals on Saturday night. "When the clock went off for us, we were like, Oh my goodness. Lets go to bed." Philadelphia took advantage of a Chicago team missing Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah to become just the fifth No. 8 seed to knock off a No. 1 seed in the NBA playoffs. They celebrated appropriately: Andre Iguodala, who sank the game-winning free throws with 2.2 seconds left, hopped on the scorers table as the 76ers anthem blared in the arena and confetti fluttered down from the rafters. "I dont even know what to say. I really dont. What this means to me, and the organization, and our team. Its just off the charts," coach Doug Collins said afterwards. "Sometimes you just cant figure this out. Sometimes youve just got to enjoy it. Thats what Im sure going to do I can tell you that. Its been an incredible year." The Celtics eliminated Atlanta in six games, but they arent ready to celebrate yet. Boston has advanced at least to the second round of the NBA playoffs in every year since the new Big 3 was assembled in the summer of 2007, twice reaching the finals and winning it all in 2008. The Sixers had not won a playoff series since 2003, and only a few Sixers have ever gone this far in the post-season. "I told them, Now were in the high rent district. Now you start really finding out what its all about," Collins said. "(You) cant put a price on experience, what our guys are gaining every single day. Just to watch the joy that they had in that locker room after the game wwas something Ill never forget.dddddddddddd." Rivers said he didnt expect the 76ers to be a pushover because they were happy just to finally win a playoff series. Sometimes the excitement of that first win can carry a team in later rounds, he said. "They have the emotional advantage because of their win," Rivers said. "We have to match that." Rivers has more than just emotion to worry about. Paul Pierce has been nursing a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee, and though he had 18 points in Game 6 he was clearly not moving as well. He said Friday he could run and jump straight, but it bothered him when he tried to move laterally. He is now wearing braces on both knees, and he said he expects to play on Saturday night. "Its probably not going to be better until the seasons over," Pierce said. "I just cant overdo it, do something that could hurt my career." Shooting guard Ray Allen also reported a setback in his recovery from bone spurs in his right ankle. Allen missed about three weeks, including the first two games of the playoffs, then returned for three solid games before struggling on Thursday, shooting 1-for-7 and missing two free throws. "It puts you somewhat in a disappointing mood, frustrating," said Allen, who planned to stay off his feet on Friday and see how he feels on Saturday. "Im back to the same place where I was two weeks ago." Philadelphia won two of three games against Boston in the regular season, both at home, including a 32-point victory on March 7. Allen said he considered that an advantage. "Beating them 3-0, if we did, you come into it a little cocky and arrogant," Allen said. "But since they beat us the two out of three, we know this team is capable and theyve had our number, so we have got to zone in and focus on beating them and taking care of all those things we didnt do well." |
