Celtics forward Kevin Garnett has told the Boston Herald that his rehabilitation is ahead of schedule.

"I'm feeling great," Garnett said of his surgically-repaired right knee. "If (team trainer) Ed Lacerte wasn't here or if we didn't have so many people around, I'd take off running right now."

Garnett underwent arthroscopic surgery and had bone spurs removed from the knee in late May.

"My rehab is going really well," Garnett said. "I'm ahead of schedule. At this point, I'm just trying to continue to heal and continue to get stronger."
