Rajon Rondo (thumb) will not play in Game 5

Rajon Rondo (G - FA)

Rajon Rondo has been ruled out for Game 5 on Wednesday after being considered possible to play in Game 5. It's a good sign that he was even considered possible to play after a serious thumb injury ruled him out indefinitely. Isaiah Cannon will start in his place. (KC Johnson on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact
Rondo isn't looking good to play in the rest of this series so Isaiah Cannon benefits the most with this news. Jerian Grant has fallen out of the rotation so Dwayne Wade, Jimmy Butler, and Nikola Mirotic also see a boost.
