According to a Yahoo Sports report, Celtics' Coach Doc Rivers told reporters Sunday that he believes Kevin Garnett's abdominal strain will keep him out of the contest.

"I don't see him playing Tuesday or Wednesday, and I don't see him playing in the All-Star Game, either," said Rivers, who will coach the Eastern Conference. "We don't know that yet. We'll decide that soon, probably as soon as (Monday) or (Sunday night). I just don't see that happening."
