(Waltham-AP) -- The Boston Celtics opened training camp for the upcoming season at their training center in Waltham yesterday.  Among those taking part was Vin Baker. Baker hopes to put last seasonÔŅĹs alcohol-related suspension behind him.

Baker was in the middle of his worst season as a pro last year when he was suspended indefinitely on February 27^th. He later admitted that he is a binge drinker, and sought treatment.

Baker says he is now in the best physical and mental condition of his career. He said the same thing at media day last year, after the Celtics acquired him in a trade with Seattle.
