Lakers Assign Rajon Rondo To G League

The Lakers assigned veteran point guard Rajon Rondo to their G League affiliate, the South Bay Lakers, as he continued his rehab from a broken hand, the team announced in a press release.

Rondo suffered the broken right hand in mid-November and was expected to miss four-to-five weeks. We relayed last week that Rondo would see a hand specialist to determine the next step. He reportedly experienced normal swelling in his right hand earlier this month.

The former NBA champion appeared in 11 games this season prior to the injury, averaging 8.5 PPG, 6.5 APG, 4.5 RPG and 1.2 SPG in 25.2 minutes per contest. Rondo began the year as the Lakers’ starting point guard as Lonzo Ball recovered from offseason knee surgery.
