Rajon Rondo will head to Florida within the next 10 to 14 days to meet with Dr. James Andrews for a checkup on his right knee injury.
"It has nothing to do with Rondo’s health and it’s not like a final straw or anything," Danny Ainge said Wednesday. "It’s just a checkup that they’ve scheduled for the beginning of December. It’s been on the calendar for a while."
Celtics team doctor Brian McKeon and Andrews then will likely make the decision on Rondo's next step in rehabilitation. Ainge said Rondo still has not been cleared fully for contact practice.
"He’s playing one-on-one and two-on-two, that type of thing, but he hasn’t been cleared to do much more than that," Ainge said.
Rondo tore the ACL in his right knee last season.
