Paul Pierce to have MRI on Monday

Boston's Paul Pierce, who is battling a hand and ankle injury, scored only one point after he missed all ten of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's win over the Miami Heat.

Aside from an 0-for-11 game in 1999, it was the worst shooting performance of Pierce's career.

Tomorrow Pierce will get an MRI on his foot.

"I sprained my hand in practice [Saturday] and I hit it today," said Pierce, per Chris Forsberg of ESPN Boston. "I just got to get my foot checked out [Monday], I'm going to get an MRI on it and go from there."

Pierce hasn't missed any games this season and the Celtics face the Nets on Wednesday.
