Celtics forward Brian Scalabrine chose not to play basketball all summer after dealing with three concussions in a month last season.

"I didn't play any basketball," Scalabrine told WEEI.com. "I didn't want to risk getting a concussion in that environment. So I just didn't play any basketball and then I've been playing since I got back here."

He began playing roughly three weeks ago when he arrived in Boston, and said that he doesn't plan to be limited this season.

"We're just going to take it day by day and see what happens," Scalabrine said. "The only time you're really going to know is until you take a blow. It's going to happen one time or another, just how I respond to it is going to be key."
