BOSTON — After hours of rumblings that Rajon Rondo might give it a shot in Game 5, and even after he confirmed he’s not playing, Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg put the final nail in that coffin in his pre-game press conference, confirming Rondo was on the inactive list.
It’s not shocking, but if there is anyone that could actually hit the floor with one o0f his body parts not functioning, it’s Rondo. He's done it several times, playing through a torn ACL in 2012 and a dislocated elbow in 2011.
“Rajon was out there playing basically with a torn ligament in his wrist,” Hoiberg said.
