Rajon Rondo returning to Lakers on one-year deal
Rajon Rondo will sign with the Lakers after he clears waivers Monday, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. The one-year deal is reportedly worth $2.6 million.
Rondo, 35, agreed to a buyout with the Grizzlies on Saturday and it was reported by both ESPN and The Athletic that Los Angeles would be front-runners to sign the two-time NBA champion. With the buyout and the new deal, Rondo will still make his $7.5 million salary.
