Celtics' Avery Bradley: Hamstring fully healthy

Bradley (hamstring) said Monday that he's been fully healthy for a few months, Scott Souza of the Providence Journal reports.

Analysis:

Bradley was diagnosed with a strained right hamstring after suffering the injury in Game 1 of the Celtics' first-round playoff matchup with the Hawks and ended up sitting out for the rest of the series. Had the Celtics advanced past the first round, it's likely that Bradley would have been available later in the playoffs, so the injury hasn't affected his preparation heading into the upcoming season. The 25-year-old is expected to slot in again as the team's starting shooting guard after averaging a career-high 15.2 points across 33.4 minutes per game in 76 appearances during the 2015-16 campaign.
