Rajon Rondo might be the key to the Lakers keeping their offense afloat without LeBron James

LOS ANGELES — Rajon Rondo has missed the basketball court, and he’s well aware that everyone else is aware of how many Los Angeles Lakers games he’s missed this season.

And after the Lakers’ 116-102 win over the Phoenix Suns on Sunday night, Rondo showcased both of those facts by deadpanning exaggerations of how much time he’s missed during three separate interview answers, saying that he’s missed “74 games” before later changing that number to 60.

Rondo has actually missed 34 of the Lakers’ (26-24) 50 games so far this season, even if he thinks it feels like more.
