Kendrick Perkins Participates in First Practice of the Season

Boston Celtics center Kendrick Perkins participated in his first practice since tearing two ligaments in his right knee during last season's NBA Finals. Perkins participated in just a few half court drills, not a full practice.

The Breakdown
Perkins was targeting a mid-January return and this development puts him right on track to come back next month. Fantasy owners in need a strong defensive center should continue to watch Perkins' progress over the next few weeks. He could be a strong addition to many fantasy squads when he returns and gets into game shape.
