Rajon Rondo: Out for Game 5

Though Rondo was preparing an attempt to play in Game 5, he’s ultimately been
ruled out after going through his own individual practice session, which
seemingly didn’t pan out the way that the Bulls and Rondo hoped. He also had
another X-ray Tuesday night, which showed no changes. But, Rondo revealed for
the first time Wednesday that he’s dealing with torn ligaments in his wrist as
well, which is why his hand was in a cast. That being said, the fact that he put
up shots and was able to participate in an individual practice session is a
reason for optimism for a Game 6 or 7 return, depending on how the series
swings.
