The Boston Celtics have re-signed champion point guard Rajon Rondo on a five-year deal, according to ESPN.

ESPN The Magazine's Ric Bucher reported on Tuesday that the deal is set to be worth at least $US55 million.

"It's not over yet, I haven't signed the papers yet," Rondo said Tuesday at Celtics practice.

Asked if both parties were close to officially announcing a deal, Rondo said "very close."

"I'm excited, thankful, humbled.

"Nothing changes, though. There's still one goal in mind. It's a great opportunity, but I'm focused on winning a championship."
