Faverani (knee) will be out six-to-eight weeks after undergoing surgery Monday to clean inflammation and evaluate his left meniscus.

Analysis:

Faverani initially underwent left knee surgery in March, but after swelling persisted, he was sent back to Spain for a second opinion last weekend. That trip resulted in Faverani needing another procedure to clean his knee out and will now sideline the center for up to two months. With the Celtics currently featuring 16 players in training camp, there's speculation that Faverani could be released to trim Boston's roster to the regulated size. However, unless such a decision is made, Faverani will remain on the Celtics' injury report for the foreseeable future.
