Rondo sustained the injury during the final quarter of Thursday's 106-103 loss to the Detroit Pistons. An MRI exam on Friday confirmed the injury.

The loss of Rondo leaves the Cavaliers even more short-handed in the backcourt for Saturday's home game against the Washington Wizards. Cleveland will also be without All-Star Darius Garland (back) and Caris LeVert (foot).

Rondo has played in 14 games for the Cavaliers since being acquired from the Los Angeles Lakers in early January. He is averaging 7.5 points, 5.0 assists, and 3.4 rebounds.

Overall, Rondo is averaging 5.0 points, 4.3 assists, and 3.0 rebounds in 32 games this season.

Rondo, who turned 36 on Tuesday, has career averages of 9.8 points, 7.9 assists, and 4.6 rebounds in 950 games (733 starts) with nine teams over 16 NBA seasons. He is a four-time All-Star.
