The Los Angeles Lakers have announced Rajon Rondo has been assigned to their G League team affiliate, the South Bay Lakers, for a rehab assignment.
Rondo, who has not played since suffering a right hand injury against the Portland Trail Blazers on Nov. 14, is set to practice with them before rejoining the Lakers.
After making good progress, Rondo dealt with swelling that required for his right hand to be drained and called for three days of no activity.
Fortunately for Rondo and the Lakers, he was cleared to resume basketball activities after recently being re-evaluated.
