BOSTON -- Boston Celtics All-Star point guard Isaiah Thomas is back in the starting lineup for Fridays tilt with the Charlotte Hornets after missing four games due to a groin strain.While the Celtics get Thomas back, the Hornets will be without their star guard, as Kemba Walker has been excused to attend to a personal matter. Charlotte coach Steve Clifford said Walker will rejoin the team for Saturdays game against the Atlanta Hawks.The Celtics went 1-3 in Thomas absence, and his late-game scoring was notably missing as Boston fell to quality opponents in the Raptors, Thunder and Spurs.[Thomas] went through [shootaround] and felt pretty good, said Celtics coach Brad Stevens. They told me nothing more today, and nothing about minutes restrictions.The Celtics have dipped to 13-12 overall and slid a bit in a crowded Eastern Conference. Stevens refused to use injuries as an excuse for Bostons inconsistent play.We had a lot of tough challenges, especially at the start of the season, ahead of us, said Stevens. There are things you cant predict going into a new year with regard to availability, but I said at the beginning of the year, were as close to second or third as we are to 10th. We still are.The Hornets (14-12) are one of the team ahead of Boston in the East.Whether [Walker] plays or not, hes obviously had a great year and hes a great individual player, said Stevens. This is a tough team -- really well coached, disciplined, they dont turn the ball over, and Steve Clifford does a terrific job. Regardless of if Kemba is playing or not, we have our hands full.

Finn Russell inspired Glasgow to an impressive 23-14 win at Top 14 champions Racing 92 on Saturday.?The Scottish sides European Champions Cup quarter-final hopes faded with defeat at the Stade Yves-du-Manoir last season but they are in position to qualify this time around thanks to tries from Alex Dunbar and Ali Price.Argentina wing Juan Imhoff put the hosts ahead in the opening exchanges before Dan Carter scored late-on, but it was not enough to lift them off the foot of pool one ahead of next weeks return clash at Scotstoun.It took last seasons Champions Cup runners-up seven minutes to hit the front after a frantic start. World Rugby Player of the Year Carter sent a long pass to Casey Laulala, who sent Brice Dulin racing away from his own half. The full-back combined with Joe Rokocoko, who powered towards the try line but he was brought down, and the ball was worked back to the blindside, where Imhoff dotted down at the corner for his second try in as many Champions Cup matches.But Glasgow earned a penalty just inside the Racing 22 metre line moments after the restart, and Finn Russell got his side on the scoreboard.

Russell was at the heart of things again as he was brought down just short of the Racing line, but his half-back partner Ali Price spotted a gap and sniped in to score at the base of the posts after 42 minutes.The conversion was duly added by Russell to give Glasgow a 20-7 lead. Ryan Wilson then got his hands on the ball at a ruck to earn Townsends men a crucial penalty deep in Racing territory. Russell made no mistake to put his side 16 points ahead with just 15 minutes remaining.Carter then danced through the Warriors defence to score, before converting to bring his side back to within nine points, but it was too little, too late and Glasgow look set to fight-it-out with Munster for top spot.
