ESPNBoston.com’s Chris Forsberg has a pre-game rundown of the C’s lengthy injury list. Here we go:

• KG could be back as early as next Friday against Portland, though the C’s are not even close to settling that as a definitive date:

“Portland — there’s an outside chance that could be the return game,” said Rivers. “Outsidechance. There’s a chance.” 

Rivers said, with a day off after a visit to Detroit Wednesday night, the Celtics could potentially get Garnett a day of practice Thursday before getting him back into action. 

But he stressed that the team would not rush his return. 

“We’ll play him when he’s ready,” said Rivers. 

• Sheed could be back as early as Monday (the C’s next game after tonight). 

• Marquis Daniels could have his cast removed within two weeks and is still aiming to return shortly after the All-Star break next month: 

“I’ll get it off in a week or two, maybe run and shoot a little bit, but no passes from [Rajon] Rondo,” joked Daniels, who aggravated the injury on a bullet pass from Rondo during a December practice. He was examined by team doctors soon after and a torn ligament in his left thumb was discovered. 

“I’m been doing a lot of running, but that means nothing once you get out there and get ready to play in actual games,” said Daniels. 

• Big Baby had his thumb swell up after a collision against the Nyets, but he’s a go for tonight and says he won’t sit out unless his thumb is broken. He also apparently likes the show “Heroes”:

Davis said he wished he could be Claire (played by Hayden Panettiere) from the TV show “Heroes.” 

“You ever see ‘Heroes?’” asked Davis. “Clair, she can never die, she heals so fast.”
