Bulls' Rajon Rondo out indefinitely with thumb fracture

Xinhua, April 22, 2017 Adjust font size:

The Chicago Bulls announced Friday that point guard Rajon Rondo suffered a fractured right thumb in Game 2 against the Boston Celtics and will be out indefinitely.

Rondo was averaging 11.5 points, 10 assists and 8.5 rebounds as the eighth-seeded Bulls held a 2-0 advantage over the Celtics of the first-round playoff series.

Rondo suffered the injury in Tuesday' s commanding Game 2 win and X-rays revealed the thumb fracture. According to the Bulls, the injury will not require surgery.

"Rondo's obviously been unbelievable in the two wins that we had in Boston. So to get the news that we got last night was obviously very difficult. At the same time, the guys are going to get an opportunity to play more. It's what you work for." Bulls head coach Hoiberg said. Enditem
