ESPN BOSTON -- Though Rajon Rondo was back in the starting lineup for the Celtics against the Toronto Raptors on Friday, the news wasn't as good for injured backup point guard Delonte West. Doc Rivers told reporters before the game that West will need surgery on his broken right wrist.

"He did tests today, CAT scan and two or three other tests. I haven't heard any of the results," Rivers said. "He's out for a while. He's gonna need surgery, but other than that I don't know what else to tell you."

West broke the wrist attempting to brace himself during an awkward fall after making a driving layup against New Jersey on Wednesday. There was no update on when West would have surgery.

Here is a little more:

Surgery set
Delonte West is expected to have surgery early next week, once the swelling in his fractured right wrist goes down.
The length of his ensuing absence, according to Danny Ainge, will depend on what Dr. Brian McKeon finds once he goes in to make repairs.
“But right now we’re talking about 12 weeks,” said the C’s president of basketball operations, whose subsequent options are limited by having the league maximum 15 players under contract. But Ainge isn’t worried.
“We like our guys and have a great deal of depth,” he said. “(Rajon) Rondo is close to healthy, and Nate (Robinson) and Avery (Bradley) are obviously there to help.”
In the meantime, West’s odyssey continues: from back spasms in training camp; to a 10-game suspension once the regular season began; to now the worst injury of his career.
“Delonte seems to be in a pretty good place,” said Ainge. “He’s doing well. It has to be frustrating for him, but he’s all right. He’s a warrior.”
