Rajon Rondo's injury sends shockwaves through Boston Celtics - ESPN Boston

By the early moments of the third quarter, various media outlets were reporting the Celtics feared he had suffered a torn ACL.

That's when I went looking for some answers.

As I walked into the back hallway where the Celtics' locker room is located, I found Rondo himself, who was just returning to the Garden from the hospital. He was dressed in shorts and a pair of slides and moving easily, seemingly without pain.

"Hey," I told him, "people are reporting you have a torn ACL."

"Who said that?" Rondo responded. "A torn ACL? I don't even have the results yet. I'm going to see the doc right now."

As he ambled toward the locker room, he asked, "Could I be walking around like this with a torn ACL?"

"Yes," I answered. "Guys have played with torn ACLs before."

"I don't feel that bad," Rondo said. "I don't feel like I have something that serious, but I've never had one before. All I know is my leg felt funny."

The Heat also were unaware of Rondo's plight -- until 2:50 p.m., when Dwyane Wade left the court and entered the visiting locker room, presumably to use the facilities.

"What's going on?" he asked me as he walked by.

"Rondo has a torn ACL," I answered.

"No, please. Don't tell me that," Wade said with a grimace. "Oh, that's awful. Now listen, we have a bad history, but I never wish that on anyone."

Boston should be trying to acquire Demarcus Cousins and rebuild for the future

I'd trade kg,terry and pierce to contenders and see what I could get for courtney lee.Green,bradley and sullinger are decent young players(green sucks to me personally but he's serviceable)

Am I wrong in thinking his recovery time will be much quicker than Rose/Shumpert? Considering he was playing after the injury & was walking around fine today

Rg3 was walking around after tearing his acl,tom brady was walkin around after tearing his acl

Regardless it's still an acl tear and 8-9 month rehab.Rondo should be ready to play right after the season starts he shouldn't miss more than 10-12(might not even be that many) games next season
