Rajon Rondo questionable against Memhpis Grizzlies
After missing a game against the Golden State Warriors and clearly being held back by injury against the Sacramento Kings, the injury woes continue for Rajon Rondo.
Rondo will sit out practice today:
Doc said he’ll let practice dictate whether Bradley will start vs. Memphis. Rajon Rondo (hip) will sit out practice; questionable for game.

Rondo knows how bad he looked against the Kings:
Rondo summing up his hip woes: “When you get beat down the court by a big... it’s frustrating.” Will he play vs. Memphis: “I hope so.”

We now know the play that got Rondo hurt:
Rondo said he doesn’t believe his injury is serious, but got kneed on bone by Barnes vs. LAC. It’s affecting his ability to play with speed.

Video from practice:
It would be frustrating for Rondo to have to sit out when Avery Bradley makes his season debut but if he is still not close to 100%, like during the Kings game, he should sit out. It looks like we will have to keep waiting to see our team at full strength.
Side-note: Wilcox makes an appearance
Unclear if he'll practice today or not, but Chris Wilcox made an appearance on the court with his thumb wrapped up pretty heavily.

Now this could mean nothing but if Wilcox is coming back early, that would be a huge help.
