"Nate Robinson, still suffering from pain in the right knee he bruised during a collision with the Lakers' Shannon Brown on Thursday, expects to play today against the Heat, though he only took part in the walkthrough portion of practice yesterday.

Though the Celtics had Friday off, Robinson said he was in the team's workout facility until 11 that night, getting treatment and shooting.

The news wasn't as good for Delonte West, who has been pushing for a return to action. The guard, recovering from a broken right wrist, most likely will suit up Wednesday against the Nets.

"It would be great to get him a game in before the break," coach Doc Rivers said of West. "But we'll wait and see, because we're going to practice (tomorrow) and Tuesday, and that will give him a chance to take a lot of hits. Our doctors just want to wait."

Robinson, who plans to wear a knee brace, was not worried about his status."
