Even though he couldn’t participate in any of the games, Lakers guard Rajon Rondo accompanied his team during its latest road trip to Orlando, Miami and Cleveland.
Rondo broke his hand Nov. 14 in a game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He spoke Friday morning for the first time since suffering the injury and said his recovery was going well.
“I think it was a rebound,” Rondo said, when asked how he suffered the injury. “I haven’t really looked at it. It happened. I wanted to get surgery over quickly and get better.”
Rondo had surgery the day after suffering the injury and the Lakers said he had a timetable of four to five weeks, though those injuries often heal more quickly.
