Free Tony Allen!
By Shira Springer, Globe Staff | December 24, 2005
WALTHAM -- Tony Allen is in short-term shutdown. Following doctor's orders, the injured shooting guard did not participate in practice Thursday or yesterday. He spent the sessions wearing a sweat suit while receiving treatment and tossing up shots during breaks in the action. He will not work out individually today or tomorrow as the team enjoys time off until it regroups in Seattle Christmas Day.
The Celtics hope the four-day break will put Allen in position to return to the active roster sooner rather than later. But no one, not even Allen, wants to talk about comeback dates as swelling in his right knee continues to be a problem. There have been far too many false alarms.
