Lakers guard Rajon Rondo suffers fractured thumb, out 6-to-8 weeks ahead of Orlando restart – Yahoo Sports

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Rajon Rondo suffered a fractured right thumb during practice at Walt Disney World near Orlando, Florida on Sunday, according to The Athletics Shams Charania.

Rondo is expected to undergo surgery in the coming days, and will miss six-to-eight weeks.

The NBAs season is set to resume on July 30 after more than four months off due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Lakers currently hold a 49-14 record, the best in the Western Conference. Sunday nights practice was just their second since arriving in Florida.

The Lakers are already down Avery Bradley, who opted-out of the season due to the coronavirus. They signed JR Smith to replace him through the end of the year.

Rondo averaged 7.1 points and five assists in 20.5 minutes per game off the bench for the Lakers this season, his 14th in the league. He suffered a right hand injury last season, too, and missed several weeks after tearing a ligament in his right ring finger.
