Atlanta Hawks guard Rajon Rondo is expected to sit out the next 3 games to rest his ailing right knee.

Rondo will “enter a period of rest and rehabilitation to strengthen his right knee,” the Hawks said in a tweet.

Rondo will miss Wednesday’s home game against the Charlotte Hornets, Saturday’s game at Charlotte and Monday’s home bout against the Philadelphia 76ers. The team said he will be reevaluated prior to the team’s three-game West Coast trip beginning on January 13 at the Phoenix Suns.

Rondo is averaging 6.0 points and 7.0 assists per game this season, but has appeared in just two contests for the Hawks. 

The veteran guard had missed Atlanta’s two previous games before being medically cleared prior to Monday’s 113-108 home loss to the New York Knicks. Rondo took a DNP (coach’s decision) against the Knicks. – Rappler.com
