Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo underwent surgery on Friday morning to repair a broken finger on his left hand, and could miss 6-8 weeks. Rondo reportedly suffered the injury in a fall at his home (in the shower?) on Thursday night. Per the Boston Globe:
Rondo’s health has taken another step back after the team announced the four-time All-Star and team captain had surgery Friday morning to repair a broken bone in his left hand.
The 28-year-old suffered the injury — a left metacarpal fracture — during a fall in his home Thursday night, the team stated in a release.
Doctors estimate that Rondo could miss 6-8 weeks, meaning he will be sidelined for at least the start of the regular season, which the Celtics open Oct. 29 against Brooklyn at TD Garden. If Rondo is out eight weeks, he could miss nearly the first full month of the season.
Ah yes the carlos boozer injury
Seriously, its like whatever when it comes to Rondo news.
These “fell at home” injuries are always suspicious to me.
because they are suspicious .. i’d bet he broke it doing something stupid like trying to skateboard
Yeah skateboarding in the shower is really stupid
Rondo takes five showers on game days, the last one precisely 45 minutes before tip-off, because he does his best thinking in the water. He jumps out to scribble ideas, which can present problems, since he is a germaphobe who hates being barefoot. He keeps three or four pairs of shower shoes in his locker. “I’m a little OCD,” he admits.
…
Rondo didn’t fall in the shower, no way, he is apparently a super expert at safe shower practices. the trampoline theory is gaining ground…..
Like… totally… whatever? Or just like, whatevaaah?
Probably whipping his bird while watching The Kelly File on Fox news.
