At media day, Vitor Faverani considered himself at full strength. Despite knee surgery that ended his rookie season, he stressed he had returned to the Boston Celtics in “perfect” form. But since training camp began the center has experienced nothing but setbacks.

According to head coach Brad Stevens, Faverani has already undergone two MRIs on his surgically-repaired left knee. Nothing specific or new has been uncovered, Stevens said Wednesday night before meeting the Knicks in preseason action, “but there has been something that people have said: ‘Hey we need to take another look at him.’ So he’s going to get looked at again. By Saturday I think I’ll have a lot more information for everybody on it.”
