Because of all that has happened with the Boston Celtics since the end of last season, it seems like we barely remember Rajon Rondo and his injury. Because the Atlantic Division is so terrible, the Celtics lead and Rondo should help that when he returns.
That return may be pretty soon as he has been cleared for full-contact practice and hopes to return in January. Then the trade rumors will surely fly once again.
Boston Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo received clearance to resume full-contact practice activities on Friday and coach Brad Stevens said he believes Rondo should return to game action next month.
Rondo traveled Friday with team physician Dr. Brian McKeon to meet with operating surgeon Dr. James Andrews, who examined Rondo’s progress and cleared him to return to practice activities. The Celtics threw Rondo into the fire on Saturday, engaging in a spirited 45-minute session despite coming off game action on Friday night.
“[Rondo] had a good trip [Friday], as far as getting good news, and it looks like he’s on schedule to be closer, but still probably doesn’t look like we’re going to see him on the court any time this month,” said Stevens. “Hopefully as we get into January, he’ll be closer.”
