Bulls' Rajon Rondo suffers fractured thumb, out indefinitely

Chicago Bulls guard Rajon Rondo suffered a fractured right thumb in Game 2 against the Boston Celtics and will be out indefinitely, the team said Friday.

The Bulls said Rondo's injury will not require surgery.

The Bulls have a 2-0 lead in the best-of-7 series, which resumes Friday night in Chicago.

Rondo is averaging 11.5 points and 10 assists in the Bulls' two victories over the Celtics, and he was just one rebound shy in Game 2 of becoming the team's first player since Scottie Pippen (1997) to get a postseason triple-double.
