Boston Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo left Saturday night's playoff game with an apparent arm injury after crashing to the court in a tangle with Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade.

Rondo remained on the floor while the team doctor rushed out to attend to him. After a few minutes, Rondo was helped to his feet and walked off the court, with Dr. Brian McKeon immobilizing Rondo's left arm.

Rondo returned to the floor minutes later, reportedly with a dislocated left elbow.

Wade was called for a foul.

The Heat entered the game with a 2-0 lead over Boston in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference semifinals.

Rondo averaged 17 points, 11 assists and seven rebounds so far in the playoffs.
