Celtics' Nelson inactive again Friday, Wizards reportedly interested

Jameer Nelson is not the happiest guy right now.

Nelson was traded from a contender in the Dallas Mavericks to a struggling Boston Celtics team in the Rajon Rondo deal, has seen his minutes limited with the Celts, and will now miss his fourth straight game Friday.

The veteran point guard was ostensibly dealing with an ankle issue, but Celtics coach Brad Stevens is now choosing to keep Nelson inactive. The second-year coach did say Friday he wasn't sure how long Nelson would be inactive, according to the Boston Herald.

"We talked. I don’t know that it’s a fixture," Stevens said.

If Nelson is ultimately bought out by the Celtics, he could end up with the Washington Wizards, according to a report by J. Michael of CSN Washington.
