Rajon Rondo and Rasheed Wallace were limited during Boston's practice on Monday.
Rondo dealt with muscle spasms during the Eastern Conference Finals against Orlando, while Wallace had back issues in the final two games of the series.
"Rondo felt pretty good, he went 75-80 percent of practice," said Celtics coach Doc Rivers. "Rasheed is not right yet, he did the skeleton offense stuff, but other than that, we didn't allow any contact. So if we have a concern right now with anybody, [Wallace] would be the only one."

New Orleans general manager Jeff Bower has exchanged proposals with Creative Artists Agency, which represents Thibodeau, on parameters of a possible contract.
Despite the seriousness of the talks, Thibodeau still plans to meet with the Nets about their vacant coaching job before the start of the NBA Finals on Thursday.
He is also believed to be interested in coaching the Bulls.
