Lakers guard Rajon Rondo suffered a "significant" hand injury during practice on Sunday evening, sources told me and @malika_andrews. Rondo, 34, underwent medical evaluation on his hand and thumb, sources said, and the severity of the injury should be known Monday morning

Karma comes back to bite you in the ass. Rondo was complaining about the amenities of the hotel so he got what he wanted- a hand injury. :oldlol: That's a big L for the backcourt rotation. The Lakers backcourt are looking thin now. Huge loss for LAL.

Come on Rondo wtf, pretty big blow to the Lakers

Sure, Rondo's metrics are horrible.. but now all they have is Lebron/Cook. That's gonna be a lot more from Lebron needed. If Cook isn't bombing 3's he's literally worthless. At least Rondo would have a big playoff game here and there or randomly get hot.

[insidehoops]

Rondo out six to eight weeks, thumb injury, surgery reportedly is required.

[bluechox2]

So it begins

[HBK_Kliq_2]

During regular season I would say Lakers wouldn't miss a beat without him. Playoffs Rondo will be missed.

[LAmbruh]

Cousins, Avery, Rondo all down


Only a miracle, the hardest chip

[Doranku]

**** man, I was really looking forward to Playoff Rondo. :(

[Indian guy]

Apparently out for 6-8 weeks.

This is a huge break for LA.

[Axe]

He's old but he's a great PG.

Mah man, chris paul...

[light]

Sounds like the same injury he had earlier in the season.

[light]

Caruso before Cook.

Thought he must have punched a wall when I read the title.

Injuries already. Ouch.

[Uncle Drew]

Damn, the odds stacking against LeBron already. Lakers are definitely the underdog now. If LeBron manages to pull this off, he holds the greatest four rings in NBA history.

[Tobio-Star]

Hell be there before the WCF and thats all that matters

[Tobio-Star]

This will be an opportunity for Dion/Smith to have more playing time so that's a blessing in disguise

Hmmm. Is it. Is it really...

[warriorfan]

Blessing in disguise. Addition by subtraction. Lakers should be the favorite by far.

[LAmbruh]

Caruso finna have to activate the Delly tapes

Gonna be tougher thou guarding clutch city Lou in comparison to Finals brick city Curry

[Axe]

Despite that, he still has an iconic playoff moment compared to that gerbil curry.

[ArbitraryWater]

This is amazing

[LAmbruh]

Waiters n JR getting heavy minutes after being out of the league for 2 yrs

Lebron draggin both these bums on multiple teams :oldlol:

We tryna see them boys round 2.

Bloodbath. :pimp:

[KD7]

It would be a miracle if LeBron can will this team to a championship

[BigTicket]

6 Weeks would mean that he misses the 1st round of the playoffs, if it's 8 weeks I think he will miss the 2nd round as well. Either way he could be back for WCF and finals, though he would obviously be quite rusty when he comes back, and this is all assuming Lakers make it that far.

Big blow to the Lakers especially since Avery is also out, but they do still have Lebron as the main ballhandler.

[dbugz]

Rondo smelling they aint winning any sh!t.

He don't want to be a part of that embarrassment. Needed to fake that one.

[Derka]

Lakers fans about to be treated to 40+ minutes a night of JR Smith in the playoffs.

[Levity]

smh. lebron used the wrong voodoo doll!

[StrongLurk]

Rondo gets hurt literally every other month. Dude should retire.

[Axe]

Rondo gets hurt literally every other month. Dude should retire.
Yeah he's 34 years old. He's nearing the retirement age for the league.
