OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- Boston Celtics point
guard Rajon Rondo sat out Saturday night's game against the Golden State
Warriors because of a bruised right thigh and hip.
Celtics coach Doc Rivers said Rondo was
hurt in Thursday's 106-77 loss at the Los Angeles Clippers. Rondo
participated in Boston's morning shootaround and took shots before the
game at Golden State before deciding he couldn't play.
"I don't think it's that big of a concern, honestly," Rivers said.
Courtney Lee started in Rondo's place. Rivers said Rondo will be a
game-time decision when the Celtics play at the Sacramento Kings on
Sunday night.
Rondo, a three-time All-Star, had started the
first 24 games for the Celtics this season. He is averaging 13.6 points,
11.7 assists and 5.1 rebounds.
Shooting guard Leandro Barbosa
was scheduled to rejoin the Celtics late Saturday night. He is expected
to play at Sacramento after missing the last three games for personal
reasons. Jason Terry again started in Barbosa's absence against the
Warriors.
