Lakers' Rondo sidelined with sprained right finger

Point guard suffered injury Tuesday and will miss Thursday's game in Sacramento

Lakers point guard Rajon Rondo will miss Thursday’s game in Sacramento as he deals with a sprained sprained right ring finger, the team announced Wednesday night.

Rondo injured his finger during the Lakers’ 127-101 win at Golden State on Christmas Day. Rondo, who missed 17 games with a fractured third metacarpal in his right hand before returning Dec. 21, had 15 points, five rebounds and 10 assists to pick up the slack Tuesday after LeBron James exited with a groin injury.

Rondo is averaging 8.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 6.7 assists in 14 games this season.
