"Boston Celtics forward Paul Pierce arrived a few minutes ago, donning a blue suit with a red tie.

It's a look that unfortunately for the C's, he'll still have when the season tips off today against the New York Knicks.

The sore right heel injury that has kept him sidelined for most of training camp will keep him out for today's game as well.

"If there was a slight chance I could play, I'd definitely be out there," said Pierce, who added that an MRI recently revealed he has a bone bruise and remains questionable for Tuesday's game at Miami."
