Rajon Rondo is considered by coach Brad Stevens to be "somewhere in the realm of questionable" to play in Wednesday's season opener against the Nets.

Rondo is considered by coach Brad Stevens to be "somewhere in the realm of questionable" to play in Wednesday's season opener against the Nets.

Analysis:

Rondo went through his first full-contact practice Friday since breaking his hand over a month ago and reportedly responded well to the conditions. As a result, Rondo is edging toward being cleared to re-claim his starting point guard position as early as Wednesday. Although Rondo's prospects of playing appear encouraging, the dexterous distributor's status should be monitored in advance of Boston's regular season opener.
