Pierce released from hospital

Thursday, September 28, 2000






A visibly scarred Boston Celtics forward Paul Pierce was released from
the hospital this morning, saying he felt good and was looking forward
to a quick recovery.


Pierce, wearing a gray shirt and dark glasses that partially covered
cuts over his right eye, thanked the hospital staff and said the doctors
did a "great job."


"I feel good," he said. "I can't wait to get back out on the basketball
court with my Celtics teammates."


Pierce, stabbed multiple times at a night club early Monday, was
expected to be released Thursday from the New England Medical Center
where was he was treated for wounds to his face, neck and back.
