While the Lakers are among the favorites for the title, the franchise has just suffered a first blow before the resumption of the season. A major injury has been reported by Shams Charania.
That’s it, the Lakers are good in Orlando. Frank Vogel’s men hope to win the title, they who have been the big favorites since the start of the year. After having dominated the Western conference, it will now be necessary to continue throughout the playoffs.
In an environment like Florida and the bubble, anything is possible. The Angelinos are not immune to surprise, especially since bad news has just hit the workforce.
A few days before the start of the preparation matches, Vogel has just lost a man: Rajon Rondo. After to have been particularly sharp, the leader saw his body let go: a broken thumb, future surgery, and now he won’t be there for a while.

Lakers guard Rajon Rondo has fractured his right thumb, is due for an operation and should miss between 6 to 8 weeks.
In the worst case scenario, Rondo could therefore miss up to two months of competition. A return in 8 weeks is equivalent to an end of the second round of playoffs approximately. A hard blow for the Lakers who will have to deal with one player less, and knowing that two are not in training.
Did Rajon Rondo force the room too much during this confinement? His injury remains bad news for his family.
