Lakers' Rajon Rondo will see hand specialist on Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Rajon Rondo will visit a hand specialist on Thursday.

What It Means:

Rondo recently had his right hand drained after some swelling and will see a specialist to consult about his recovery. Look for the veteran point guard to return around Christmas and Lonzo Ball to hold down point guard responsibilities for the Lakers.

Rondo is currently averaging 8.5 points and 6.5 assists per game this season.
