Los Angeles Lakers veteran guards Rajon Rondo and Avery Bradley are both questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Orlando Magic.
Per ClutchPoints' Ryan Ward, Rondo is still nursing a left hamstring strain while Bradley has a hairline fracture in his right leg.
#Lakers provided an update on the status of their players for the matchup w/ #Magic on Weds:
QUESTIONABLE: Avery Bradley (hairline fracture, right leg) &
Rajon Rondo (left hamstring strain)PROBABLE: Anthony Davis (right shoulder soreness) & Kyle
Kuzma (mild left ankle sprain)— Ryan Ward (@RyanWardLA) December 10, 2019
Meanwhile, All-NBA power forward Anthony Davis and third-year forward Kyle Kuzma are probable for the said road game.
Rondo, 33, missed the Lakers' Sunday home win over the Minnesota Timberwolves with his hamstring strain. Just a day ago, L.A. head coach Frank Vogel said the 13-year veteran floor general was still experiencing “some soreness.”
Rondo's absence may not harm the Lakers too badly if he misses his second consecutive game, as the bench guard has been quickly eclipsed by Alex Caruso.
Caruso is playing really well this season, even scoring 16 points against the Timberwolves off the pine.
Bradley, however, has missed the past 13 games with his hairline fracture. The 29-year-old started in the 10 games he appeared in for the Lakers before the injury. He was brought to the Purple and Gold for his balanced play on both sides of the ball. Not to mention that he is a competent perimeter defender and guard that matches well with LeBron James and Davis.
Bradley was most recently cleared for full contact practice and looks to be trending in the right direction for the Lakers. He was averaging 9.6 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.8 assists a game before the fracture.
