Rajon Rondo Injured On Flagrant Foul
January 19, 2012 4 Comments
Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo injured his right wrist when he was leveled on a flagrant foul by Toronto’s Linas Kleiza on Wednesday night.
Rondo was driving for a layup with 2:12 left in the third quarter when he was hit hard by Kleiza, who came down hard with his left arm and knocked Rondo to the floor. Rondo landed awkwardly on his back with his right hand and wrist getting crunched in between his body and the court.
Rondo remained in the game long enough to make one of his two foul shots, then walked slowly toward the locker room. The Celtics announced he had a sore right wrist and his return was questionable.
Kleiza was initially called for a flagrant 2 foul, but officials reduced it to a flagrant 1 after reviewing the play.
not a Cs fan but never want to see anyone injured. Hope he aigghh
OUCH!!
In related news, Danny Ainge is considering trading the Big 3 for some versatile, younger players. Ainge should’ve been fired for that Kendrick Perkins trade, especially because it amounted to naught with both Robinson and Greene no longer with the Celtics.
and he’s still out..least they won last night..they need Rondo tho and now Allen is hurt not a good look
