Rondo Sidelined by Broken Hand

The Lakers will be without the services of Rajon Rondo for at least “a couple of weeks,” according to coach Luke Walton, who revealed that the point guard broke his hand in Wednesday’s win over Portland.

Rondo apparently fractured the third metacarpal on his right hand while making a steal in the fourth quarter, according to Walton.

Rondo averaged 8.5 points, 6.
