Ugh. I'm about one more piece of bad news from starting the Greg Oden
watch.

Hope Big Al is OK.

Celtics forward Al Jefferson underwent an emergency appendectomy this 
afternoon, according to Celtics executive director of basketball 
operations Danny Ainge.

Jefferson experienced severe stomach pain overnight and attended this 
morning's shootaround at Health Point in Waltham, but upon arrival, 
trainer Ed Lacerte sent Jefferson immediately to a hospital.

Ainge did not place a timetable on Jefferson's return, though the 
forward will be out at least 2-3 weeks. This is another setback for 
Jefferson, who is hoping to have a breakout season after suffering a 
pair of ankle injuries last season and undergoing surgery Aug. 3.
