The Los Angeles Lakers have treaded water since Rajon Rondo went down with a broken hand a couple weeks ago. They’ve gone 3-2 over the five games he’s missed thus far, and have seemed to miss a second legitimate point guard for stretches in each of the games they’ve played without Rondo.
To his credit, Rondo has by all accounts been working tirelessly to get back to the Lakers. Monday afternoon, the team announced that all his hard work has now resulted in him being cleared for non-contact activities, though no updated timetable for his return was provided.
