Boston's Wally Szczerbiak was carried from the court by two teammates Tuesday after colliding with Utah's Milt Palacio in the lane.

Szczerbiak and Palacio appeared to hit knees as Palacio drove to the basket with 8:38 left in the first quarter of the Celtics' game at Utah. Szczerbiak, who was called for a foul on the play, dropped to the court at the baseline holding his left knee.

Szczerbiak stayed down for several minutes before being carried off the court. The Celtics said he had a bruised knee and would not return to the game.
