Having gone 5-9 without LeBron James and Rajon Rondo, the Los Angeles Lakers remain hopeful the veteran point guard will return Thursday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves. After suggesting earlier in the week it was a possibility, head coach Luke Walton said Rondo remains a game-time decision.
“He looked good again today,” Walton said after shootaround. “It’s going to come down to him, if he feels confident enough to get out there and trusts his hand. But he looks good. End of the night, it will be his decision.
“He’s been cleared to play, so now it’s about him feeling confident and comfortable on the court.
