Crowder (ankle) hopes to play against LeBron, Cavs tonight

CLEVELAND -- Will Jae Crowder play tonight against the Cavaliers? Depends on whom you talk to.

While there is some measure of uncertainty from both Celtic coach Brad Stevens and Crowder, the latter seems more encouraging about his availability after injuring his right ankle Wednesday against Detroit.

If Crowder does play, he will once again get the main assignment of guarding LeBron James.

Prior to this morning's session, Stevens said, "Jae is not going to go through walkthrough. It'll be a gametime decision. He's sore from the spill at the end of the game the other day.
