SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- Kevin Garnett returned to the Boston Celtics' lineup Friday night against the Spurs after missing the past month with a strained right knee.
Garnett wasn't expected to play long. Celtics coach Doc Rivers said his All-Star forward would only play the first 7 minutes of the first quarter and the first 7 of the third.
Garnett missed 13 consecutive games for the Celtics and has not played since Feb. 19. He is averaging 16.3 points and 8.8 rebounds this season.
