Delonte West Set To Return To Second Place Celtics

BOSTON (CBS) - Celtics guard Delonte West is set to return Wednesday night against the Indiana Pacers.

West has missed the last eight games after tweaking his ankle during practice.  He had just returned from a broken wrist and played in three games before suffering the new injury.

West has played in just eight game this season, averaging 6.6 points-per-game.

The Celtics will welcome West back as a contributor off the bench. With all the new additions in the past month, it will be nice to see some stability in the rotation. West can play with the starters, spelling point guard Rajon Rondo, or play at shooting guard with the second unit.
