Paul Pierce: Out Wednesday With A Bruised Knee

Pierce (knee) is a late scratch Wednesday against the T-Wolves.

Analysis:

He suffered a bruised knee in Tuesday's game, and despite insisting afterward that he wouldn't miss any time, he will watch the second game of the back-to-back set from the bench. Look for Rasual Butler, Otto Porter and Martell Webster to all see a slight uptick in minutes Wednesday as a result.
