The Los Angeles Lakers organization and fan base have their fingers crossed as the team gets ready for a fairly huge game at home against the Minnesota Timberwolves. To avoid re-aggravating his twice-injured hand, it might make more sense for Rajon Rondo to roll with some other lucky habit as everyone awaits the decision on whether he’ll play.
It really says something about how frustrating injuries have been this season that it feels like a game with major playoff implications heading into the trade deadline kind of hinges on whether or not Rondo might suit up for what would be his 15th game of the year.
