Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo has received clearance to resume full-contact practices, the team announced Friday. Rondo has missed the team's past 12 games after surgery to repair a Grade 3 sprain to his right ring finger, suffered during a win over Golden State on Christmas Day. While he finished out the game, during which LeBron James also suffered a left groin strain, Rondo was in considerable pain the next day and unable to use his hand.
