Celtics to start three on Injured List

"The Celtics have to file their roster by today, which isn't a real problem with the maximum 15 players already under contract. When all shakes down, it's most probable that rookies Brandon Hunter and Kendrick Perkins will join Chris Mills (out for the season with ankle problems) on the injured list."
