Allen stayed behind after the team left because his toddler son was undergoing medical tests after feeling ill. The Celtics gave no details of his son's condition at Allen's request.
WALTHAM, Mass. (AP) - Celtics coach Doc Rivers expects Ray Allen to play in Game 6 of the NBA finals after the guard skipped the team's shootaround following his overnight flight from Los Angeles.
Boston leads the series 3-2 and can win its first title since 1986 Tuesday night. Allen is second on the team in shooting and rebounding in the finals. The absence of the 280-pound Perkins helped the Lakers' inside game in their 103-98 win Sunday.
Boston center Kendrick Perkins participated in the workout and is likely to play Tuesday night after missing Game 5 against the Lakers with a shoulder injury.
