Rondo revealed for the first time today that the reason his hand was casted was because he also has a torn ligament in his wrist.

After beating the Celtics in Games 1 and 2, the Bulls received the tough news that Rajon Rondo had fractured his thumb and was out indefinitely.
They went on to drop Games 3 and 4 with their point guard watching from the bench.
According to The Vertical reporter Shams Charania, Rondo is “preparing to attempt” to play in Game 5 on Wednesday night.
