Rajon Rondo (back) will play Thursday versus the Lakers.

Rondo (back) will play Thursday versus the Lakers, Jason Jones of the Sacramento Bee reports.

Analysis:

Rondo missed the Kings previous game due to back spasms. He was upgraded to probable for Thursday's game earlier in the day, so this status does not come as much of a surprise. Expect him to play his typical workload, but he could be on a short leash if it appears his back is affecting his performance.
