When the Boston Celtics take on the New Orleans Pelicans tonight at Boston Garden swingman Evan Turner will be a no-go with an eye injury.

With just seconds to go in Sunday night's win over the Lakers, Turner got poked in the eye. It is considered an abrasion and not serious but the team is going to be cautious  with the playoffs around the corner.

The Celts return from the west coast trip at 45-32, tied with Atlanta for 3rd place in the east. Counting tonight's game, the C's have five game left.

The Pelicans are struggling without their franchise center Anthony Davis. He has been shut down for the season with injuries.

NOTE: Live coverage of the C's vs New Orleans on Sports Radio 92.9 The Ticket begins at 7pm.
