体坛英语新闻：Star guard Rondo set to make comeback for Pelicans

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3 (Xinhua) -- The New Orleans Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry said on Friday that the team's guard Rajon Rondo will be possibly coming back in two weeks' time.

Rondo was sidelined for 4-6 weeks with a sports hernia injury before kickoff of the season and has yet to play for the Pelicans.

Gentry said Rondo may be eyeing Nov. 17's matchup against Denver as a possible return date, but it'll depend on how his body feels during the coming weeks.

"It's on feel," said Rondo, who's just joined the Pelicans this season. "I wake up and I feel pretty good everyday. We take for granted that we can get out of bed on the regular, for the couple weeks I was down, I couldn't. I'm just happy I can get out of bed without having assistance or not having to roll over to my side and get up."

"I feel good everyday, I'm getting better and trying to continue to stay in the weight room and get stronger."

"My lateral movement, that's the hardest part to come back from with a sports hernia," Rondo said. "Moving forward and backwards is easy, but being able to stay in front of guys and move side to side would be the most difficult part. I'm waiting on that."
