Rondo will be back in two weeks

Rajon Rondo to Max during the last timeout. "I'm coming back to play in two weeks."

Don't laugh it off.

I had a player two season aga that tore an ACL. Because he was a senior and no further significant damage could be done, the Doctor's okayed him to play. Put a brace on the knee and went out and played. Probably at 90%


If I were Rondo and had Millions of dollars riding on that knee. I'd take the surgery and return next Dec / Jan. But I'm not Rondo.

Rondo was surely kidding in typical Rondo deadpan humor fashion.

wow it wouldn't 100% shock me but probably not the best move maybe if we had a big win streak and really started to click but probably best to have the surgery now and get back as close to the start of next season as possible

In his next tweet after that one, even Grande says he's out for the year.

#Celtics coach Kevin Garnett: First thing I told Rajon Rondo is 'don't be a hero trying to come back, take care of yourself.'

KG said Rondo had played through a lot of injuries people didn't know about, praising his toughness #CelticsTalk

Cedric Maxwell said on CSN that Rondo was joking. Closed.
