Rajon Rondo has been pretty much MIA this summer. At least... he has since all those trade rumors died down.
But he'll be out there, on a basketball court, a week from tomorrow.
Well, sort of. He's going to be coaching one of the Elite 24 teams.
ESPN RISE will hold the fourth annual Boost Mobile Elite 24 event, the
nation's premier elite high school boys basketball event for
underclassmen, Friday, Aug. 21, 7 p.m. ET at New York City's Rucker
Park. Featuring 24 of the top high school basketball players from
across the nation, Boost Mobile Elite 24 players are selected by a
committee of high school basketball experts: ESPN RISE Magazine, ESPN
Scouts, Inc. and other leading talent evaluators. Players are selected
based on their performance at AAU tournaments and national summer camps
Quick scan of the roster shows Austin Rivers, Doc's son, will be playing in the event. Wonder if Rajon will be coaching him?
He'll also be judging a slam dunk contest, along with Kevin Love, Tyreke Evans and Brandon Jennings.
