The Boston Celtics were hit with the injury bug at the tail end of their European preseason trip. But according to Evan Turner, there’s a simple solution.
Dr. Evan Turner on the sick Celts: "It's because people get sick and want to give out full handshakes. When people get sick, dap ‘em up."

“We’ve had some upper respiratory issues for a couple of days now, and we have a couple of other guys who are a little feverish,” Celtics coach Brad Stevens told Celtics.com at Thursday’s morning shootaround. “It’s going around and I don’t know who’s going to be available and who’s not.”
Amir Johnson ultimately missed Thursday’s 111-96 win over Spanish team Real Madrid, and David Lee played but was considered questionable heading into the game.
