WALTHAM, Mass. (AP) - The wait is almost over for Kevin Garnett.

Garnett, who led the Celtics to their 17th championship in 2008
after his arrival from the Minnesota Timberwolves, suffered a right
knee injury last year that led to surgery to remove bone spurs in
late May. He could only sit and watch his team lose to Orlando in
the second round of the playoffs.

He's back now. He's done all the rehab work, listened to what
the medical people have told him and says he is playing without
pain.

"I'm excited, man. I'm excited," Garnett said Monday as the
Celtics met the media before Tuesday's official opening of training
camp.

"No setbacks," he said of his rehabilitation, adding he was
"almost 100 percent and going forward."
