| Ankle injury slows Rondo: Boston's Rajon Rondo was unable to practice Wednesday because of the ankle injury that left him on the bench for most of the second half during Game 3 of the NBA Finals. The speedy point guard said he has no intention of missing Game 4 tonight against the LA Lakers, but he left open the possibility that he wouldn't be effective enough to help his team. Wearing a hard plastic brace on his left ankle, Rondo described the injury as a bone bruise. He felt less pain after treatment with ice and a night of rest, and he expects to feel even better with another 24 hours to heal. Rondo rolled his ankle early in the third quarter Tuesday. |
