Hooped Up

Celtics full-time President of Basketball Operations and part-time physician Danny Ainge expects to have Rajon Rondo back by training camp after being diagnosed with an ACL tear on Sunday. Okay then.

“Rajon will get surgery in 10 to 14 days, when the swelling is right and we anticipate that he’ll back and as good as ever in training camp,” Ainge said. “(Kendrick Perkins) Perk came back in six months and that’s a little bit unusual and Adrian Peterson came back in six months and so did Wes Welker. I guess every body is a little bit different and [with] every injury there’s some differences.”

No pressure Rondo.
