Training Camp Updates from Peter Stringer + Videos <p align="center"></p> Peter Stringer is running a daily blog at Celtics.com, updating us die-hards on the dime. He has some good news, as well as some bad. We'll start with the bad:</p> Bad news: Scot Pollard and Gabe Pruitt are hurt (sprained ankles):</p> <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'></p> Scot Pollard sprained his left ankle a while back during informal workouts, and he did not participate in Sunday's opening practice, nor was he expected to go today. We'll update you when there's more news on his condition.</p> </div></p> <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'></p> Practice ended today on a sour note, as Gabe Pruitt appeared to sprain his ankle on the final play of a scrimmage game between the second and third unit teams. Pruitt elevated trying to block Eddie House's midrange jumper, and appeared to be in quite a bit of pain when he hit the floor clutching his ankle. We hope to have an official update on his status before tomorrow's practice.</p> </div></p> Stringer does, however, mention the guys who have really stood out:</p> <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'></p> My list of guys who stood out today: Ray Allen, who seemingly couldn't miss during the scrimmage; Tony Allen, who was attacking the hole when the opportunity showed itself, and once again, Esteban Batista, who appears more polished than advertised, at least to these eyes, anyway. Captain Paul Pierce also had a strong day. I'm probably leaving a few guys out, and the coaching staff's opinion is the only one that matters anyway, but about two hours later, those are the guys who stuck in my head.</p> </div></p> It's good to hear that Tony Allen is attacking, and I really believe that Batista could potentially be a surprise. With Pollard often suffering injuries, and even Perkins suffering injury woes throughout his career, he will get a chance to prove himself. It's good to hear that he's playing well, and I believe that he will make this final roster.</p> Also, take a look at two new training camp videos (one is over two minutes of scrimmage footage, titled "Celtics Practice Video") that Comcast Sports Net put up on their website.</p>
