Rajon Rondo Retires From The NBA

While making an appearance on the “All the Smoke” podcast, Matt Barnes asked Rajon Rondo if his time in the NBA is up.

Rajon Rondo confirmed to Barnes and the world that he is officially retiring from the league after 16 seasons. He hasn’t played since the 2021-22 season for the Los Angeles Lakers and Cleveland Cavaliers. The two-time champ is 38-years-old.

“Absolutely,” said Rondo. “Yeah, I’m done. I can’t. I’d rather spend time with my kids.”

“What a time, it was definitely something that I never took for granted when I was in the game,” Rondo said. “I loved every minute of it, and I appreciate the brotherhood that I was able to share and bond and grow with over the years. I’ve learned so much in this game and it’s made me the man who I am today. … I tell people all the time, this wasn’t a dream of mine, it was a goal. I was able to lock in, stay disciplined, I didn’t party a lot in college. But it was worth the sacrifice of me getting to where I wanted to be in life.”

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, confirmed by the Orlando Magic, Franz Wagner, who exited Game 4 with the injury, has been diagnosed officially with a right calf strain. This has been confirmed by an MRI.

Depending on how he responds to treatment, that will heavily influence Orlando’s decision making regarding the 24-year-old’s availability for Wednesday’s Game 5.

In 34 games this season, Wagner has averaged 20.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 3.3 assists in 30 minutes. A left high ankle sprain caused him to miss a great portion of games.

Right now, the eight-seeded Orlando is winning the series 3-1 against the one-seeded Detroit Pistons.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Houston Rockets are expected not to have superstar talent Kevin Durant for their Game 5 showdown with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Durant has only played in one game this series – Game 2 – due to this ankle injury and a knee injury as well. Game 2, fans saw him drop 23 points, but also sprain his ankle.

Despite winning Game 4, Houston is still down 3-1 to Los Angeles. Game 5 is set for Wednesday night at 10:00PM EDT.

According to the Minnesota Timberwolves, Anthony Edwards will be without franchise superstar Anthony Edwards for multiple weeks due to suffering a bone bruise and hyperextended right knee.

With Edwards wanting to make a postseason return, should Minnesota continue their tremendous playoff success, he will start rehabbing immediately so that he can accomplish that goal.

An MRI confirmed that he did not suffer any ligament damage to the knee, which is a tremendous victory.

The 24-year-old suffered the injury towards the end of the first half in Game 4, as he landed weirdly and then needed assistance to the locker room. He was assessed during the break and then was later ruled out for the remainder of the game during the middle of the third quarter.

Right now, in their first round matchup against the Denver Nuggets, they are up 3-1.
