The captain will be giving it a go in the final game before the All-Star break, as Paul Pierce is slated to play Wednesday night against the Hornets in New Orleans, according to The Boston Globe.
"It's getting better, it's still a little sore," Pierce told the Globe in regards to his left foot sprain. "I'm hoping over the break, with some time off, I can continue the process of getting better. Definitely, the weekend is going to help. I plan on playing tonight and plan on being in the All-Star game, plan on being in everything."
After Wednesday night's tilt with New Orleans, he'll head west to Dallas to prepare for the All-Star weekend. The Truth will test his long game in the annual 3-point contest.
"I have been practicing, I feel pretty good about it, I like my chances," Pierce told the newspaper. "I don't see a lot of wear and tear if I participate in the weekend activities, play about 10-12 minutes in the All-Star game. The 3-point contest, I don't really see too much wear and tear, I don't look at it as something that is going to hinder me."
