Bulls point guard Rondo racing for game 5 fitness

WASHINGTON, USA – Chicago point guard Rajon Rondo has tested his ailing right wrist and broken thumb but remains a “long shot” to return to NBA playoff action for the Bulls’ game 5 against the Boston Celtics on Wednesday, April 26 (Thursday in Manila).

“This is honestly the first time he has touched a basketball with that right hand,” Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg said after Rondo took a few set shots with his right hand at practice on Tuesday.

“We’ll see how it goes,” Hoiberg said. “Just watching him wince a little bit when the ball was coming to him makes me think it’s a long shot. But if there’s anybody who can do it and will try to fight through it, it’s Rondo because of the competitor he is.”

The Bulls and Celtics are tied at two games apiece in the best-of-7 Eastern Conference first-round series.
