This is not the way the Boston Celtics wanted to start 2014-15 training camp, which begins soon.
Once again, Celtics star point guard Rajon Rondo is injured. According to the team, Rondo fell at home, and broke his hand in the process. After surgery today, he’s expected out 6-8 weeks.
A silver lining here is that the Celtics are a rebuilding team, and have plenty of young players to develop. Some of them should benefit from increased minutes due to Rondo being out, namely rookie guard Marcus Smart.
Also, the team may trade Rondo sometime this season. If he can come back, play well and look good, his trade value should remain the same.
