With his broken right hand dressed in a splint, Rajon Rondo was on the practice court Thursday offering instructions and advice to the Lakers’ second unit even though he knew he was going to be having surgery to repair the third metacarpal of his right hand.
The Lakers said that Rondo had a successful procedure Thursday night and is expected to be sidelined four to five weeks while recovering from an injury suffered in the fourth quarter of the Lakers’ victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday night at Staples Center.
“We have to shake it off,” Lakers coach Luke Walton said.
