Mannix On Toucher & Rich: Not Ruling Rondo Out Completely For Game 5

BOSTON (CBS) — The Chicago Bulls have been without Rajon Rondo for the last two games of their playoff series against the Celtics, and Boston has taken advantage.

But that may be coming to an end sooner than anyone expected.

A broken thumb forced Rondo to the sideline for Games 3 and 4, where all he could do was wear a short-sleeved suit and attempt to trip Jae Crowder. He was expected to miss significant time with the injury and Bulls head coach Fred Hoiberg has already ruled his floor general out for Wednesday night’s Game 5 in Boston.
