The Cleveland Cavaliers and the Los Angeles Lakers are finalizing their deal for the acquisition of Rajon Rondo.

The veteran guard will join the Cavaliers once he clears the health and safety protocols, while the Lakers will acquire Denzel Valentine.

Rajon Rondo will replace injured star guard Ricky Rubio, who is out with a season-ending injury. For their part, the 17-time NBA champions will waive Valentine to create a roster spot.
