On the heels of LeBron James being cleared to return to the practice court, the Los Angeles Lakers announced Rajon Rondo is now permitted for full contact in practice. Rondo is recovering from a Dec. 28 surgery to repair a ligament in his sprained right ring finger.
It was only earlier this week that the veteran point guard was cleared to begin dribbling with his right hand. “I’m cleared to start working out with my right hand a little bit more day by day and see how it goes,” he said.
Like James, Rondo has missed the past 12 games.
