The Chicago Bulls announced Friday they have waived veteran point guard Rajon Rondo.
Rajon Rondo was fined $25,000 by the NBA for attempting to trip the Celtics' Jae Crowder on Friday.
After a disappointing Game 3 loss on Friday night, in which Jimmy Butler scored just 14 points, going 7-for-21 from the field, Butler remains confident he can propel the Bulls past the Celtics.
Rajon Rondo says he "can't even use a fork with" his broken thumb, which doctors say will likely keep him out two weeks.
Rajon Rondo, who has averaged 11.5 points and 10 assists in the Bulls' two wins over the Celtics, will be re-evaluated in seven to 10 days.
Boston's Avery Bradley heard Chicago's Rajon Rondo suggesting the Celtics gave up in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's loss, and Bradley didn't necessarily disagree.
