Bradley Crucial on Both Ends for Celtics

Bradley returned to the lineup on Jan. 16 after missing the Celtics' previous four games with an Achilles injury. He played 33 minutes in the 108-98 win over the Charlotte Hornets but scored only five points while shooting 2-of-9 from the floor.

An NBA All-Defensive First Team selection a year ago, Bradley is on pace for his best professional season. He is averaging career highs in points (17.7), rebounds (6.9) and assists (2.4), working alongside Isaiah Thomas to create one of the NBA's most dynamic backcourts.

Despite his big season so far, Bradley has been laser-focused on what he can do to improve, per ESPN.com's Chris Forsberg in December:

"

I already sat down and really made [a list] because I know what I can do to improve.

I'm not going to tell you [what's on the list] but when I start doing it, you'll be like, "Oh, OK, he added that." I already know that it's going to help me out so much. It's going to make it very hard for people to guard me when I have the ball. It's going to help.

"

The Celtics don't have much in the way of backups at the 2-spot but have slid a few players away from the ball in order to survive while he's out. Marcus Smart and Jaylen Brown have both seen an uptick in minutes in Bradley's absence.
