From CelticsBlog recap of Celtics’ first preseason game comes this glimmer of hope:

“KG looked like KG. In eight 1st quarter minutes he drained two 18 footers, played great defense including two steals, and had three rebounds. He would have had an ally-oop from Rondo but was fouled. His feet and hands are very active. No complaints or concerns.”

“Garnett looked strong again in the 2nd half. He was never limping or showed any signs of fatigue. He had a great pass to Ray Allen cutting to the hoop as well.”

*WHEW*

Now, all we need to worry about is how he’ll hold up through the season.
