The Los Angeles Lakers released their injury report for Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals on Thursday and, as expected, Dion Waiters is questionable for Thursday’s game against the Denver Nuggets. However, there’s one player that was unexpectedly added to the injury report: Rajon Rondo.
Rondo has played in the Lakers’ last five playoff games after missing the entirety of the seeding game schedule due to a thumb injury and the first round of the playoffs due to back spasms. In those five games, Rondo has lived up to the “Playoff Rondo” hype and averaged 10.
