Rajon Rondo suffered a fractured thumb at Lakers practice Sunday and will miss 6-8 weeks, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania. Sunday was only the Lakers' second practice in Orlando ahead of the NBA's restart. Rondo is the first player known to have suffered an injury at Disney, though a hand injury is unlikely to have been caused by rust. He previously missed time during the 2018-19 season with a broken hand. 

Rondo will have surgery later this week to repair the fracture. 토토캔배당분석

The injury would likely keep Rondo — who compared his Orlando bubble hotel room to a “Motel 6” upon arrival in an Instagram post last week — out until the middle of the NBA’s rescheduled postseason in late August and early September should the Lakers get that far. The second round is slated to start Aug. 31.

Rondo, 34, was averaging 7.1 points, five assists and three rebounds per game when the NBA season was halted in March because of the coronavirus pandemic. It’s unclear if he plans to stay with the team in Orlando as he heals up.

LeBron James’ Lakers, one of the favorites to win the NBA title, are already without starting guard Avery Bradley. He opted out of the season because of coronavirus concerns. J.R. Smith was signed to replace him. Now the Lakers will be looking for another fill-in player.
