While the Celtics continue to search for cohesion and production from their frontline players, Avery Bradley is getting closer to returning for coach Doc Rivers.

Bradley has been working out before practices and rehabilitating his surgically repaired shoulders, and said before Wednesday’s 104-94 win over the Timberwolves at TD Garden he is close to practicing with the team. Bradley has not played or participated in full-contact workouts since Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the 76ers.
