The Cleveland Cavaliers have turned to the trade market to help replace point guard Ricky Rubio, who suffered a torn ACL earlier this week that will end his season. On Friday, the Cavaliers agreed to acquire veteran point guard Rajon Rondo from the Los Angeles Lakers to fill their void at the position.
Rondo won't offer Cleveland immediate help because he is currently subject to the NBA's health & safety protocols, having been placed in them on Dec. 26. As soon as Rondo clears, however, he gives the Cavaliers a veteran leader at the point.
