Ainge Finally Weighs in on the Staples Rumor

Even with a clean bill of health and a smarter lifestyle, Ainge knows his job comes with aggravations. This summer he dealt with questions on the status of superstar Kevin Garnett's knee, including whether the 33-year-old forward had tendons stapled to bone (Ainge says he does not).

"It's like this thing created a life of its own," Ainge says. "I've had so many crazy questions. People say, 'He tore his (anterior cruciate ligament) and you didn't want to say it.' My gosh.

"He had an aggravating bone spur on the back of his knee. It was a good-sized one. There was no structural thing there. I think KG is going to be fine. He looks good right now. He's just got to get his confidence back, his strength, all that."

That doesn't close the book on the Conspiracy of Silence. But I think it we're approaching the final chapter.
