Pierce (knee) will "probably" be cleared to play Wednesday against the Lakers, per coach Doc Rivers, Dan Woike of the Orange County Register reports.

Analysis:

Rivers was asked about Pierce's status prior to Tuesday's game against the Lakers, and while the forward ended up sitting out of that night's contest, it looks like he'll be ready to go for the second game of a back-to-back set.
