Free-agent forward Chris Wilcox has been cleared for full-court contact, his agent said Monday, as the 29-year-old attempts to resume his career after undergoing aortic surgery last March. Wilcox had been playing well for the Boston Celtics as a reserve when the team’s doctors noticed what the team called a "significant" enlargement of his aorta. As a precaution, Wilcox was shut down for the season and operated on at the Cleveland Clinic March 29.

And going along with a common theme lately, yes, the Celtics are interested.

Not sure what priority the Celtics would put on Wilcox or how much they'd be willing to offer him, but at the right price I'm not surprised that Boston would be interested.
