Rajon Rondo expects to return this season from his ACL surgery, but he is not yet sure when.

“Whenever I’m able to jump off my right leg and probably dunk, that’s when I think I’ll be back to play,” Rondo said.

Rondo is not allowed to do contract drills, but he did just get fitted for his first brace.

Rondo said his right leg is at about 87 percent, “give or take, depending on how my day goes.”

Rondo wants to return as his old self.

“If they want me to ease into it — it’s going to be hard to tell me to ease into something,” he said. “Once I get back out there, I want to go full speed. I don’t want any limitation. That’s when I’ll return, when I’m able to do that."
