Paul Pierce finds out about Rajon Rondo’s injury in post game interview

The Boston Celtics will be without Rajon Rondo for the rest of the year. Paul Pierce found out about it right after the game.

News spread quickly about Rajon Rondo's torn ACL. Apparently it didn't spread to Paul Pierce. He found out from Doris Burke in the postgame interview following the Boston Celtics' 100-98 double overtime win over the Miami Heat.

It’s impressive that Pierce didn’t unleash a flurry of curse words after finding out that Rondo will miss the rest of the season.
