Boston Celtics guard Ray Allen left right after Game 5 Sunday night at Staples Center because of a health issue with one of his children.

Boston coach Doc Rivers asked the media to respect Allen's privacy.

Rivers said they will keep the media updated on Allen's situation.

Allen scored 16 points on 4-for-13 shooting.
