Rajon Rondo had to go to the locker room late in the third quarter against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday after rolling his right ankle while elevating. Rondo is considered “day to day.” The three-time All-Star will be assessed before Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets.
Rondo has had a fantastic start to the season for the Boston Celtics. Heading into Wednesday's game, he was averaging 15.4 points, 12.9 assists, 5.1 rebounds and 2.3 steals while shooting 52 percent from the floor. He had just posted 20 points, 10 assists, nine rebounds and five steals in the Celtics' 101-95 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Monday.
Rondo has carried the team so far this season, particularly with Paul Pierce struggling from the field in the early going. He's widely regarded as one of the game's best point guards, on both sides of the ball, and his impact for Boston cannot be overstated.
