Boston Celtics star point guard Rajon Rondo has a torn ACL in his right knee and will miss the remainder of the season. The Celtics announced Rondo's injury Sunday during their game against the Miami Heat, stating that the four-time All-Star will undergo surgery. The initial report was a hyperextended knee but tests showed the ACL tear, an injury that usually takes up to a year for recovery. A date for the surgery had not been scheduled as of Sunday afternoon, said team spokesman Brian Olive, who confirmed that Rondo's season is over. Rondo, averaging 13.7 points, 11.1 assists, and 5.6 rebounds in 38 games this season, was a late scratch for Sunday, two days after suffering the injury in a loss to the Atlanta Hawks, a game in which the Celtics squandered a 27-point lead.
