Celtics backup point guard Shane Larkin won't play in Games 1 and 2 and is likely out for all of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers, C's coach Brad Stevens told reporters on Saturday. The series opens Sunday at TD Garden.
Larkin sprained his left shoulder when he collided with the Philadelphia 76ers' Joel Embiid in the first half of the Celtics' Game 4 loss in Philly.
Marcus Smart will continue to back up Terry Rozier at point guard with Larkin out.
