Kevin Garnett hasn't played in more than a month, but Celtics president Danny Ainge believes that the star is close to returning.

"He's looking good," Ainge said. "He's made a great deal of strides, especially in the last 10 days or so. It took him a little while to get going. But in the last week to 10 days, he's been looking a lot better.

"Just by the way he's moving, he looks fresh and healthy. We're still playing it by ear. We're still waiting to see what's going to happen. I'm confident that he will be back [soon]."

Garnett suffered a sprained right knee on Feb. 19 against the Jazz, and has not practiced yet with the team.
