Celtics' Avery Bradley: Says he'll play Sunday vs. Heat

Bradley (illness) said that he would be available to play Sunday against the Heat, A. Sherrod Blakely of CSN New England reports.

Analysis:

It wasn't looking promising that Bradley would suit up Sunday after he remained hospitalized due to the stomach flu as of Saturday morning, but he was present for the team's morning shootaround and seems to have made dramatic improvement over the last 24 hours. Given the brevity of his absence, Bradley figures to rejoin the starting five in place of Jaylen Brown, who spelled him at shooting guard during Friday's win over the Suns. However, it wouldn't be surprising if coach Brad Stevens was cautious with Bradley, who could see his minutes restricted on some level, making him a less-than-appealing DFS play.
