Rajon Rondo: 'I can't control trade rumours'

Rajon Rondo has said that he is trying to "stay focused" on his game despite being linked with a trade move away from the Boston Celtics.

The Celtics have invited trade talks for the point guard, who returned from almost a year out with an ACL tear last month.

The 27-year-old told CSNNE: "Stay focused. I can only control so much. Right now, I'm a Celtic and I'm going to go out tonight and play as hard as I can if I'm still here."

Rondo has averaged 10.5 points in the 11 games since his return.
