Rajon Rondo: May Play In All Remaining Games, Even B2B

Rondo is expected to get a lot of minutes over the final five games of the season for the Celtics, and it will be up to Rondo and the Celtics' trainer whether he's allowed to play in both games of the back-to-back set Friday and Saturday, the Celtics' official site reports.

Analysis:

Rondo has not played in both games of a back-to-back set since returning to action this season from ACL surgery. The main difference this news creates is whether Rondo will play in all five of the final games of the season or just four of them, but the way coach Brad Stevens talked about the situation, it sounds as if Rondo may even play in the team's final game of the season, which lots of veterans are often held out of.
