Lakers point guard Rajon Rondo will be sidelined at least a month after undergoing surgery to repair a ligament on his right ring finger. ''He tried to pick up a basketball and palm it, and it was killing him,'' Lakers coach Luke Walton said. The Lakers also played without center JaVale McGee on Friday night when they faced the Clippers in the first game of the season against their Staples Center co-tenants.
