After suffering a broken hand against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday, Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo will undergo surgery to repair a fractured third metacarpal in his right hand within the next 24 hours, according to Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN. He is expected to miss three-to-five weeks, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
Despite injuring his hand, Rondo was at the Lakers’ practice on Thursday. While he obviously couldn’t practice, head coach Luke Walton said he was being the same vocal leader he’s been all season long.
