Owner Real Deal Posted January 27, 2013 Owner Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) Boston Celtics @celticsRajon Rondo is heading to New England Baptist for an MRI on hyperextended right knee and will not play today. Courtney Lee will start.https://twitter.com/celtics/status/295590305653219328The Celtics announced just 10 minutes before tipoff of their game against the Heat Sunday that Rajon Rondo is out with a hyperextended knee.

Rondo is expected to get an MRI Sunday afternoon; we'll update with the results when we get them.http://www.cbssports.com/nba/blog/eye-on-basketball/21619353/rajon-rondo-out-vs-heat-with-hyperextended-knee Well, that's the last thing Boston needs. UPDATE: Rondo has a torn ACL: Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA As Doris Burke reported, Rajon Rondo has torn the ACL in his right knee and will be lost for the season. Celtics are scheduling surgery.

Built Ford Tough Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 They're actually very concerned that he might have a torn ACL. @DavidBaumann33: Solid #NBA source tells me the Boston @Celtics are fearing a possible torn ACL for Rajon #Rondo. Results from MRI coming soon. Updates ASAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChosenOne Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 He's the only player that has been showing up and playing night in and night out. If he's shutdown for the year the celtics are done as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DunkinDerozan Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 That sucks. One of the best and sometimes under-rated PG's in the NBA. Hope he pulls an Adrian Peterson recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Regime Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 A guy like Rondo obviously leaves a big void but I don't think they'll have as big of dropoff as people are expecting. Bottom half of the East is terrible, they'll get in as the 8th seed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
htownborn Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 That suck's to hear for the Celtics and Rondo I hope he has a speedy recovery. Now I wonder who will replace Rondo in the All Star game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
