“He’s feeling a little bit better today,” Celtics coach Brad Stevens said.
“He did a little bit of running at 70 percent of his body weight and felt pretty good, which is encouraging coming off of that.
“They [the Celtics’ medical staff] felt pretty good about the diagnosis and didn’t feel like it was a long, long-term thing.
“I feel fortunate with that because obviously hamstrings and muscular injuries at this time of year can be really scary and can keep guys out a while, but it doesn’t sound like that will be the case with Aron.”
Today it’s the first game for the Lakers since the brawl with the Houston Rockets on Sunday – they’ll be without both Brandon Ingram and Rajon Rondo through suspension – while Golden State looks to bounce back from a loss to Denver when it hosts Phoenix.

Kyle Lowry had 16 points and 14 badists while Kawhi Leonard scored 22 points in 30 minutes on-court.
