He is as I suspected the first one of the big 3 to fall subject to the injury bug this season. He has not and continues to not be in the best of physical condition as far as avoiding injuries goes. It would not surprise me to see them lose him for an extended period this year.
Regarding Paul Pierce, this was from a year ago almost to the day

BOSTON -- Boston Celtics forward Paul Pierce has an injury in his left foot that will keep him out for two to three weeks.
Pierce has a stress reaction, a swelling of the bone and the soft tissue surrounding it, team spokesman Jeff Twiss said Thursday. Pierce will miss Friday night's game against Philadelphia and the five-game trip that starts Tuesday in Denver.
"I'm not sure if he's going to accompany the team, but he will not play on the road trip," Twiss said.

He is playing a lot of minutes again and things like a stress reaction can lead to all kinds of complications for a NBA player over 30 who is playing heavy minutes. Pierce actually missed over 30 games last year.

KG is healthy and of course he is their key, but I think that we can definitely beat them in a seven game series if they only have 2 out of the big 3.
