Austin Rivers is intrigued by the prospect of playing for his father, Celtics coach Doc Rivers.

"If that was to happen, I would love to," Rivers said Friday." "I would love to play for any organization in the NBA. That's my dream. It would be great. It would be different. It would be an interesting aspect just to play for my dad."

Rivers said that if he were to be drafted by the Celtics, he'd want to be treated like any other player.

"If I'm messing up, I want him to be hard on me. If I'm doing good, I want him to pat me on the back. That's the way he coaches," Rivers said during the radio interview. "However he coaches(Rajon) Rondo or Kevin Garnett or Avery Bradleyor any other player on that team, I want him to coach me. I don't want anything handed to me. I never have my whole life. I would have to mature and accept that responsibility. That's one of the things you look forward to when you decide to go pro."

Jermaine O’Neal underwent successful arthroscopic surgery on his left wrist on Friday at New England Baptist Hospital. The surgery was performed by Celtics Team Physician Dr. Brian McKeon and Dr. Drew Terrono.

O’Neal appeared in 25 games for the Celtics this season averaging 5.0 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.7 blocks in 22.8 minutes per game.

The Celtics were without Ray Allen for the fourth consecutive game on Wednesday as they hosted the Jazz.

Allen has not played since March 22 against the Bucks when he sustained a right ankle injury.

Doc Rivers initially said that Allen was doing “great,” but then announced that he wouldn’t be in the lineup.

“He’s not doing great enough to play,” Rivers said. “He went through shootaround and just didn’t feel right. We are hoping for Friday.”

Boston has dealt with a number of injuries this season, which has left Rivers prepared to deal with the absence of Allen.

“I’m not that concerned by it,” said Rivers. “I wouldn’t know anyway, so there is no reason for me to worry about it. We’ve had a lot of [injuries] this year, so he’ll be fine. You just hope it doesn’t become one of those things that linger, where you play a couple of games and then have to sit out a couple. But I don’t see that happening.”

Avery Bradley will continue to start in place of Allen.

Mickael Pietrus fell awkwardly onto his back in the second quarter of Boston's 99-86 loss to the Sixers on Friday.

Pietrus remained motionless for several minutes and was removed from the court on a stretcher.

Kyrylo Fesenko will sign with the Pacers for the remainder of the season, according to sources.

Fesenko and the Warriors mutually cancelled an agreement they reached in December on a one-year deal because he was still rehabbing from an offseason knee surgery.

Fesenko also received strong interest from the Mavericks and Celtics.

The Celtics will sign Ryan Hollins.

Hollins was waived this week by the Cavaliers.

To create a roster spot for Hollins, the Celtics will waive Chris Wilcox who is out for the remainder of the season.

Danny Ainge said Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce urged him this summer to sign Hollins.

"They really liked his game and the way he could play with them," Ainge said. "I think he would fit in well with what we do."

The Bulls and Celtics are not interested in Drerek Fisher, according to sources.

Fisher is expected to hold conversations with the Heat, Thunder and Spurs to discuss "ideas and concepts."

Ronny Turiaf is expected to sign with a team by Wednesday.

The Heat and Celtics are the two teams most likely to sign Turiaf, who was waived this week by the Nuggets.

Jermaine O’Neal will undergo surgery on his left wrist and will miss the remainder of the 2011-12 season.

O’Neal has a chronic degenerative wrist condition that was exacerbated after a fall during the Celtics’ game against the Dallas Mavericks on February 20th. The wrist has not responded to immobilization and physical therapy, and the decision was made to proceed with surgery.

“Jermaine worked hard to get himself in condition to play this season despite his ongoing wrist issues,” said Celtics President of Basketball Operations Danny Ainge. “He played through pain the entire year and gave us all he could, but unfortunately after the fall against Dallas there simply wasn’t anything else he could do. We appreciate his contributions to our team over the last two years.”

Kevin Garnett and Ryan Anderson are two players that the Nets will pursue this offseason.

Garnett and Anderson will be free agents.
