Ray Allen to play tonight?

Ray Allen has missed the last 11 games with bone spurs in his right ankle but he was able to fully participate in yesterday's practice and is said to be optimistic about the fact that he may play in game 3 tonight against the Hawks.

“Injuries are tough and we all deal with them, but I like the way I feel right now,” said Allen “I’m in a good place, so I’m optimistic. I deal with the days as they come. I am optimistic about playing and that is a great step forward.”
