According to CSNNE.com, Rajon Rondo's agent says that the point guard's ACL injury is only a partial tear, which could mean a quicker return to the floor than we all expected.
"It's still too early to tell for sure," his agent Bill Duffy told CSNNE.com. "But we are very optimistic about his return now that we know his injury is only a partial tear and not a full tear."
Rondo has yet to undergo surgery, and he has been looking at all his options such as what type of surgery to get and who will be the one performing it.
Rondo has reportedly planned to speak with the highly-regarded Dr. James Andrews before making his final decision.
The All-Star point guard was at the TD Garden before Thursday's game, and was seen wearing workout clothes. It is unknown if Rondo participated in any conditioning drills.
However, Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge later told CSNNE's Kyle Draper that Rondo would not return this season and the timetable for his return has not changed.
What does this all mean? In my opinion, nothing.
Rondo will undergo surgery at some point, and it's highly unlikely that Ainge and the rest of the Celtics' brass would want Rondo to risk further damage to his career by making a surprise return near the end of the regular season or the playoffs.
