This season hasn’t been great for Rondo when it comes to being on the court. At the beginning of the season, he was suspended three games for being involved in a fight during their game against the Houston Rockets. Most recently, Rondo suffered a broken hand that kept him out for 17 games. And now another injury in the same hand that will keep him out for one month.
When Rondo has been on the court with the Lakers, he has been very good for them bringing leadership to the team. Rondo has played in 14 games for the Lakers and is averaging 8.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 6.7 assists in 24 minutes per game.
