Rondo will sit out the double-header against the Charlotte Hornets and matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. The team is expected to re-evaluate him in seven days ahead of their three road games against teams from the Western Conference (The Phoenix Suns, Utah Jazz, and Portland Trail Blazers).

Rondo missed the first two games of the season before making his Hawks’ debut in a 128-120 win over the Detroit Pistons on December 28th. He also played in a 145-141 loss to the Brooklyn Nets two days later but spent only 16 minutes on the court and failed to score any points.

The 34-year-old veteran went on to miss the next three games, including Monday’s loss to the New York Knicks. He was given a green light to play the Knicks but ended up sitting out the game.

Rajon Rondo inked a two-year, $15 million contract with Atlanta Hawks with the organization hoping he would add experience and veteran leadership to their young squad. Rondo spent the 2019-20 season with the LA Lakers, playing a significant part in their NBA title run.

Rondo suffered the injury during practice on Sunday night. He is scheduled to have surgery at some point this week.

Rondo spent the majority of the 2019/20 season as Lakers’ back-up point guard. In 48 games, he averaged 7.1 points, 5.0 assists, and 3.0 rebounds per game.

It’s unclear who’ll step in for Rajon Rondo for the Lakers, considering that they have already lost starting point guard Avery Bradley for the rest of the season. Bradley opted to sit out the NBA restart due to family reasons and concerns over coronavirus pandemic and was later replaced by free agent JR Smith.

Lakers will probably have to now rely on bench warmers Alex Caruso and Quinn Cook, who didn’t play a prominent role this season. Caruso, who is a fan favorite, played 17.8 minutes per game this season and averaged 5.4 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 1.8 assists. Quinn, on the other hand, only spent 10.8 minutes on the court and had 4.8 points to show for.
