There is no indication yet whether the rookie center will miss extended action due to the injury. The Celtics' first round pick scored seven points during Monday night's win over the Atlanta Hawks, which is his highest output so far this offseason. Melo has hauled in five rebounds twice. At Syracuse he made a name for himself moreso on the defensive end of the court.
