Rajon Rondo Injury: Celtics Point Guard Playing With Dislocated Elbow Vs. Heat

Apparently, Rajon Rondo occupies a rather high rung on the toughness scale: he’s playing in the Celtics’ Game 3 against the Heat with a dislocated elbow.

Rondo dislocated his left elbow in the third quarter after being pushed to the ground by Dwyane Wade; he went back to the locker room for further examination. But before the quarter was over, Rondo was back on Boston's bench, and as the fourth quarter began, he was on the court.

Yahoo! Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski sums things up pretty well:

Well, how about this: dislocated left elbow for Rajon Rondo and...he’s going to try to play.Expect the Heat to go left against Rondo in the fourth quarter. A lot.
