Los Angeles Lakers: Rajon Rondo Fined $35K For Flagrant 2 Foul

As Rondo constantly argued with the officials, and failed to leave the court immediately afterwards, the NBA decided to hit him with a $35,000 fine.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo has been fined $35,000 for making unsportsmanlike physical contact with Oklahoma City Thunder guard Dennis Schroder, verbal abuse of a game official, and failing to leave the court in a timely manner upon his ejection, it was announced today by Kiki VanDeWeghe, Executive Vice President, Basketball Operations.

The incident involving Rondo and Schroder, for which Rondo was assessed a Flagrant Foul 2 and ejected, occurred with 10:20 remaining in the fourth quarter of the Lakers’ 130-127 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Nov. 22 at Chesapeake Energy Arena.
