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.
