Rajon Rondo, who is the point guard for the Boston Celtics, suffered an ankle sprain. This injury happened during the fourth quarter. Despite the injury Rondo is expected to play Thursday night when Boston hosts the Atlanta Hawks in the second night of a back-to-back set.
"It hurts, but all ankle sprains hurt," said Rondo, who has also battled a sore left hamstring, which recently sidelined him for five games, and plantar fasciitis. "I expect to play. I think I'm going to do [X-rays Thursday] morning and see how I feel. Get through the night and hope it doesn't swell up."
Rondo fell to the court 23 seconds
into the fourth quarter after awkwardly turning his ankle as he tried to make a
cut. After trying to stretch out the injury, he slowly got to his feet and had
to be aided off the court by trainer Ed Lacerte.
