The Los Angeles Lakers will be without Rajon Rondo and Brandon Ingram when they enter the ring for round two against the Houston Rockets on Thursday, head coach Luke Walton announced after practice on Wednesday.
Rondo was making rapid progress toward a return earlier this month, but he had a minor setback on his road to recovery on Sunday, when he had to have fluid drained from his right hand. As a result, he’ll be out at least a few more days, but Walton said there’s a chance he’ll join the Lakers on the road if things go well.
