This just in: Rajon Rondo to play in tonight's Celtics-76ers game


This just in: after it was originally questionable whether Rajon Rondo would play in tonight's Celtics-Sixers game due to a shin injury, NESN is reporting that Rondo will in fact be in the starting line-up:

6:13 p.m.: After testing his leg with a medium-strenuous warm-up, Rondo will attempt to play. He will start, although one assumes he will be under close surveillance by the training staff.

Those not suiting up for the C's include Jared Sullinger (ankle), Kris Humphries (knee), and Jerryd Bayless (knee). The current projected starting line-ups for each team are now:

Celtics
Kelly Olynyk
Brandon Bass
Jeff Green
Avery Bradley
Rajon Rondo

76ers
Henry Sims
Thaddeus Young
Hollis Thompson
James Anderson
Michael Carter-Williams
