The Herald got it right from Rondo’s agent. According to his agent, Bill Duffy, the Celtics point guard has been named to the Eastern Conference All-star roster, presumably to replace Joe Johnson, the injured Atlanta Hawks guard.

Update: Garnett Likely Out For Season

Well, s***. That’s the only reaction I have time to post right now to the news that KG is likely out for the season. Doc first spilled it on a WEEI interview today, and the Globe recaps that interview here.

Quotes:

“After watching him run, there’s no way. So, we’re going to move without him. And the way I saw him move today guys, I don’t know if he’ll be ready.”

“At this point after going through all the rehab and looking so good last week … to where he’s at today if he can’t get through biking and working out without swelling and stiffness … I just don’t know how he can play in the playoffs,” Rivers said.

This is, obviously, terrible news and essentially ends the Celtics hopes of winning an 18th title — assuming that KG indeed can’t come back at all. We’ll have more all day today.
