In getting Rajon Rondo back, the Lakers will finally have the vocal leader they’ve been missing.

The Los Angeles Lakers didn’t have a single point guard that is normally in their rotation on their active roster when they hosted the Golden State Warriors on Monday and the final score reflected that. Luckily, they probably won’t have to do that again for a little while.

Following the game on Monday, head coach Luke Walton told reporters that he’s expecting Rajon Rondo to make his return against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday.

“I think Rondo will play Thursday as long as he continues to move with no setback until then,” Walton said.
