KG Injured

ESPNBOSTON- Kevin Garnett left Boston's 104-92 loss at Detroit on Wednesday night with a right leg injury.

Though as of press time we are one day away from New Year's Eve, going into 2011, it feels like 2009.

Kevin Garnett left last night's game vs. the Detroit Pistons with an apparent leg injury. The first X-Rays taken revealed there is no fracture, but he will be having an MRI later today to get a prognosis.

This is huge for the Celtics. This injury comes a game after the 14-game win streak came to an end vs. the Orlando Magic. The Celtics were playing like a well-oiled machine with all parts doing their duties to make the engine go. But with this injury, the machine might have a huge kink in it. Plus, the Celtics are entering a time in the season where they in the past have struggled. KG's injury couldn't have come at a worse time.

This MRI is going to really determine the Celtics success for the the rest of the season. If KG's injury is day-to-day, the C's should be fine. But if the forward's injury is a tear or another serious leg injury, it almost guarantees that the Celtics will fall way short of expectations this season.

We can only hope that the former is the case, because this season has been blissful to watch, and a leg injury could send Celtics fans off Cloud 9.
