Rajon Rondo (calf soreness) a game-time call for Lakers' opener
Los Angeles Lakers point guard Rajon Rondo (calf soreness) is a game-time decision for Tuesday's season opener against the Los Angeles Clippers, head coach Frank Vogel said.
What It Means:
If Rondo is rued out, the available minutes will likely fall to Alex Caruso, Quinn Cook, and Avery Bradley. Even when healthy, the 33-year-old veteran will be competing for minutes in a crowded Lakers' backcourt this season. Tuesday's tip-off is at 10:30 PM ET.
numberFire's models project Rondo for 5.3 points, 1.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 0.7 steals, and 0.8 3-pointers in 15.8 minutes per contest this season.
