Rondo did 3-on-3 when he wasn't suppose to

[sed522002]

“He played 3-on-3 three weeks ago when he wasn’t supposed to,” president of basketball operations Danny Ainge told the Herald. “But I asked (the training staff) if it was OK for him to be playing one-on-one, and the answer was yes. Of course playing one-on-one is one thing. It doesn’t mean he’s ready to play to the NBA standard.”

Rondo still needs clearance from Dr. James Andrews for increased activity and could schedule a meeting in Florida with the renowned surgeon soon, according to the Herald. The guard told the Herald's Mark Murphy that "the (Celtics) travel schedule is too crazy this week."

not a smart decision at all. Danny needs to sit rondo out the whole season.

Well, the last celtic to return a bit early from knee surgery got traded shortly afterwards, Perkins. Not saying Rondo will necessarily get traded, but IF Danny wants to trade him, it would be best for Rondo to get back out there sooner rather than later and show he is healthy.

Not if he's ready to play.

Yeah, Rondo is a smart person, I don't think he'd make any irrational or short-sighted decisions that would risk his career.

I don't think anybody's really surprised Rondo would do this.  Plus, whoever was matched up with him was probably overly-conscious of how much contact was happening at all times.

[Celtics4ever]

As long as there is no contact he should be ok.

Sorry, but that is EXACTLY what a highly competitive athlete does. They think they are indestructible and that they are all going to be like Adrian Peterson. It is the teams responsibility to make sure that their desire to play and come back doesn't go faster than the laws of physics. There are many more examples of guys rushing back and getting hurt again than the other way. If this is the case, it is not responsible on the part of the Dr's or the Celtics. Ensure that it is healed, and then be safe. There is nothing really to come back for anyway. Rushing back isn't going to get us a championship.

Just wanted to say, I really like how Rondo has been so adamant about being with and traveling with the team. I feel like that's something that will get passed over in this article, but I'm glad to see it.

But yeah, no. Probably a poor decision on rondo's part. Can't knock his drive though.

I don't think Rondo should rush back, but I would like to see him back on the court when he is ready to play.  I don't want to see him held out longer than he needs to be held out because this is "a lost season anyway."

So is Rose not highly competitive, or is he not a professional athlete?

He's really engaged when he's on the bench. I like that. Also, whenever Jeff has a big dunk Rondo always seems to be the 1st one to stand up in anticipation..love it.

I don't agree about the rushing back part, they aren't coming back before the doctors say it's okay so if they injure themselves for "coming back too soon" that's on the doctors for releasing them or it could just be no matter when they returned they would injure themselves. How do you know if they "rushed back"? If someone comes back and injures the same place it's a case of rushing back? Maybe it's just bum luck. Could be that the person didn't work as hard to get it back healthy but that's laziness and whether they come back earlier or later there is nothing you can do about people who don't work hard as they should... there are guys who do "just enough" to get back out there so of course they would get hurt again. There aren't many cases of ppl injuring the same thing, usually when players come back from injuries they are fine and dandy, whether it be quicker than "normal" or w/e. Everyone is different, for as many cases you can find of someone you think came back too soon, I can find cases of people who came back sooner than normal who didn't re-injure themselves.

  I think if Rondo had been in Rose's position last spring he'd have given it a go to try and help his team win.
