BOSTON -- Though the left quad contusion Avery Bradley suffered Tuesday night against the Toronto Raptors is not considered serious, the starting guard will not travel with the Boston Celtics to their regular season finale.

With the seventh seed clinched, head coach Brad Stevens said he also intends to rest other regulars Wednesday night against the Milwaukee Bucks.

"We'll go deep into our bench," he said after a 95-93 win against Toronto. "That was kind of the plan of attack anyway."

Bradley missed the final 21:59 after exiting early in the third quarter. Based on the early returns, he should be OK to start a first-round playoff series with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

"He left the court. I don't know if you saw that," Stevens said. "He got bumped above the knee, kind of in the quad, and he was a little stiff coming out of halftime. (Trainer Ed Lacerte) actually told me to take him out at the (10)-minute mark of the third quarter. And he just took him back (to the locker room). I have not talked to Avery directly, but everybody that I've talked to says he's fine. He will not play (against Milwaukee), though."
