Celtics coach Doc Rivers confirmed that Bradley (shoulder) will have surgery Friday and is done for the remainder of the playoffs, Celtics' official Twitter page reports.
Recommendation: "It's disappointing," Rivers said. "He's been terrific this year." Bradley saw a spike in his minutes this postseason before the injury on May 18. The 21-year-old showed a lot of improvement as a sophomore this season, and should be fine by the start of next year.

Bradley is out for Boston with a dislocated left shoulder.
Advice: Bradley emerged as a starter late in the season, but now Ray Allen is taking his place in the lineup. It's a major blow to the Celtics' championship aspirations.

G Avery Bradley missed his second straight game with a dislocated left shoulder, and the news is getting worse.
Team sources told the Boston Herald it is very doubtful he will be able to play again in this postseason. Bradley will definitely need surgery, and it may happen soon. He has not been completely ruled out the rest of the way, but if he plays again this season it would come as a surprise to the team.
