Player Grades: Boston Celtics Defeat Real Madrid 111 – 96

The Celtics played the second of their two internationally-set preseason matches today against Real Madrid as part of the NBA’s Global Games initiative. Just hours before tip-off, MassLive’s Jay King reported that several Celtics players were under the weather and questionable for today’s match-up. However, of the reportedly sick players, only Amir Johnson would miss today’s game.

The other DNP’s – Evan Turner, who has a non-serious knee sprain, and Perry Jones III, who had to attend a relative’s funeral, were already expected to miss today’s game. Jared Sullinger meanwhile, was – while sick – healthy enough to play 11 minutes.
