On Sunday night, the Los Angeles Lakers announced that they expect Rajon Rondo to be sidelined for at least the next 6-8 weeks with a right thumb fracture he suffered at practice earlier in the day.
Rondo has served as the Lakers’ backup point guard for the last two seasons, and while his production on the court has been disappointing, he’s been a great vocal leader on the bench, and during a conference call with reporters on Monday, Danny Green said he expects Rondo to continue to be a commanding voice on the sidelines while he nurses his injury.
