Faverani (knee) was waived by the Celtics on Thursday, The Boston Globe reports.

Faverani was released in order to make room on the Celtics' roster for the three players they acquired in a trade that sent Rajon Rondo to the Mavericks. Assuming he clears waivers, he will become a free agent.

Faverani (knee) is still a month away from practice, Celtics head coach Brad Stevens said Monday, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports.

Stevens had previously said that he hoped Faverani would practice in December, but it now seems like he'll be out for even longer with a meniscus injury that has required him to have two different surgeries.

Faverani (knee) is without a firm timetable for return, although coach Brad Stevens is expecting him to start practicing at some point in December, the Boston Herald reports.

Faverani has been sidelined for the entire 2014-15 season after undergoing his second knee surgery over a six-month span in early October. Initially Faverani was given a 6-8 week timetable for return, although that seems less definite as this point in his recovery. Either way, the 26-year-old would likely have a hard time getting on the court even if healthy, when considering the depth of frontcourt options in Boston.

Faverani (knee) will be out six to eight weeks after undergoing surgery Monday to clean inflammation and evaluate his left meniscus.

Faverani initially underwent left knee surgery in March, but after swelling persisted, he was sent back to Spain for a second opinion last weekend. That trip resulted in Faverani needing another procedure to clean his knee out and will now sideline the center for up to two months. With the Celtics currently featuring 16 players in training camp, there's speculation that Faverani could be released to trim Boston's roster to the regulated size. However, unless such a decision is made, Faverani will remain on the Celtics' injury report for the foreseeable future.

Faverani is headed back to Spain for a second opinion on his left knee, CSNNE.com reports.

With the swelling in Faverani's surgically-repaired knee persisting, the Celtics have decided to send him back to Spain to get a better idea of the full extent of the issue. Faverani rehabbed the knee in Spain throughout the offseason. Concern seems to be mounting, but the start of the regular season is still nearly three weeks away.

Faverani (knee) is out for Wednesday's preseason game against the Knicks.

The Celtics will continue to take a cautious approach with Faverani, who is recovering from the knee surgery he had in March.

Faverani (knee) will miss Monday night's preseason game against the 76ers, ESPN Boston reports.

Faverani is coming off March knee surgery and is still experiencing some swelling, which has kept him out of some practice time recently. The big man will rest for Monday's preseason opener, but should have his status updated ahead of Wednesday's subsequent exhibition outing. Nonetheless, Faverani's participation will likely be limited in any action he partakes in this early in the season.

Faverani (knee) won't be able to participate in Friday's practice scrimmage.

Faverani was able to partially practice Thursday but he's still not healthy enough to see extended run. Even when healthy, the 26-year-old will have a hard time getting minutes this season with Kelly Olynyk, Tyler Zeller and Jared Sullinger ahead of him on the depth chart.

Faverani (knee) will practice for 40 minutes Thursday, as he continues to deal with knee soreness.

Faverani will be limited for the second straight day with swelling in his left knee stemming from surgery in March. The Celtics will bring the big man along slowly throughout the preseason with the hope that he'll be 100 percent for opening night Oct. 29 against Brooklyn.

Faverani (knee) sat out Wednesday's practice due to swelling in his left knee, Ben Rohrbach of WEEI.com reports.

Faverani's absence is not really surprising, since it was known the big man might be limited during training camp following March knee surgery. The Celtics will err on the side of caution with Faverani and allow him ample rest to ensure he's available for the regular season. At that time, the Brazilian is expected to compete with the likes of Kelly Olynyk, Tyler Zeller and Jared Sullinger for frontcourt minutes.

Faverani (knee) is set to practice during training camp, but could be limited during some of the sessions of two-a-days, NESN reports.

Faverani had surgery back in March to repair a torn lateral meniscus in his left knee. It has recovered enough for him to start training camp on time, which is great news considering he's only going into his second season in the league. The Celtics will monitor his time on the court, and have him take some practices off in order to keep him fresh, and avoid the risk of re-injuring the knee. He'll slot in as a reserve center, fighting for a position in a crowded frontcourt with the likes of Kelly Olynyk, Tyler Zeller and Jared Sullinger. The injury doesn't help his chances of establishing more of a presence as a contributor, but we'll see what he can do once he's fully healthy.

Faverani was arrested in Spain for DUI after crashing his BMW into a bus, greenstreet.com reports.

Faverani, according to police reports, blew a .18 BAC after the crash, going three times over the legal limit in Spain. According to Spanish law, he will face at least a fine, community service, possibly 3-6 months of jail time, and a suspended license of at least 1-4 years. Faverani was in Spain this offseason rehabbing a knee injury that had plagued him since March when he tore his meniscus. In 37 games, he provided some help for the Celtics, scoring 4.4 points and grabbing 3.5 rebounds in 13.2 minutes per game. The Celtics have declined to comment thus far on what their plans are to deal with the matter.

Vitor Faverani (knee) hopes to return to Boston with his surgically-repaired left knee 90 percent healthy.

Faverani showed flashes during his rookie season with Boston, including a 12-point, 18-rebound, six-block outburst, but he struggled with consistency. Faverani is an intriguing fantasy play with the high-upside in blocks, but we'll need to see more from him before putting him into the standard league conversation.

Vitor Faverani (knee) is still rehabbing from his surgery back in March.

"I got injured because I trained there too [much] and, as I have no limits, I [got] hurt. [I] went a little silly, but it was my first year and I wanted to show a lot with my work," Faverani said in a translated version. He was all the rage to start the season with eye-popping block totals, but his numerous deficiencies eventually caused him to be phased out. He has a decent chance to make the team with Kris Humphries in Washington, but is not worthy of a pick in standard leagues yet.

Vitor Faverani had arthroscopic surgery will will miss the rest of this season.

There has been talk of Faverani getting surgery for almost a month now and he finally opted to go through with it. The surgery was to repair a torn lateral meniscus and he should be ready to go for next season. Faverani is a candidate to play in Orlando Summer League and this surgery shouldn't affect his status in a few months.

Vitor Faverani may need knee surgery.

Faverani went for a second opinion on his knee and got the bad news. He's likely done for the season. Faverani wouldn't have played ahead of Jared Sullinger, Kris Humphries or Brandon Bass anyway.

Vitor Faverani (knee) will not play on Wednesday night.

His knee injury has kept him out all month, which is too bad because his team could have used him tonight. Faverani has no fantasy value right now.

Vitor Faverani's knee injury will prevent him from traveling with the Celtics on their West Coast road trip.

That rules him out at least four games. An MRI came back negative but Faverani has no return date, and even when he's healthy he may not be a part of the Celtics' rotation.

Vitor Faverani (knee) will not play against the Mavericks on Sunday.

He was down in the D-League earlier this month, which was where he sustained the injury. Faverani is still a a little lost on the offensive end and might need some more seasoning with the Maine Red Claws.

An MRI came back negative on Vitor Faverani's knee and he is listed as day-to-day.

The Celtics moved him down to the D-League to help him get into the flow of the game a little bit better and he doesn't have fantasy value after a head-turning start to the year. Faverani likely needs an injury to be back on the radar.
