After missing 17 games due to hand surgery, Rajon Rondo returned for the Los Angeles Lakers against his former team, the New Orleans Pelicans.
While Rondo only spent one season with the Pelicans, head coach Alvin Gentry and former teammates have nothing but high praise for him. Throughout Rondo’s 13-year career, one major trend has been his performances during the regular season compared to the playoffs.
During the 2017-18 season, Rondo averaged 8.3 points, 4.0 rebounds and 8.2 assists. However, his numbers significantly increased to 10.3 points, 7.6 rebounds and 12.2 assists during the playoffs.
