Rajon Rondo Broke His Hand at Home, Celtics Season Over Before it Starts

Rajon Rondo broke his hand in a fall at his home. The injury should keep Rondo out for the next 6-8 weeks which would make him miss the entirety of Celtics training camp which opens in a few days and at least a few games to start the season. While this will not sink the Celtics season – the rest of their roster will take care of that – is it officially time to call Rondo “injury prone?” After missing just 12 total games in his first four seasons, Rondo has played in 68, 53, 38 and 30 games in seasons 5, 6, 7 and 8 respectively. I hope Boston is ready to embrace the Marcus Smart era. [USA Today]
