Lakers guard Rajon Rondo will be active tonight for Game 3 of their playoff series vs the Portland Trailblazers. Rondo suffered a fractured right thumb in a July Lakers practice that caused him to leave the bubble to undergo surgery. After being expected to sit out 6-8 weeks with the broken thumb, Rondo is back and will be active for Game 3.
My Thoughts
Good news for Lakers fans. Rondo when focused is a great leader and always plays well in the playoffs. If he happens to get a lot of minutes, you could see him guarding Damian Lillard or CJ McCollum for a majority of the game. He could make a difference for the Lakers by slowing down Portland’s two hot guards, who the Lakers defense has had no answer to.
Could he be the missing piece for the Lakers struggles?
