Rajon Rondo fined for kicking Dennis Schroder, verbal abuse of referee
Rajon Rondo was fined for a trio of infractions committed on Friday night.
Rondo was ejected during the fourth quarter of the Los Angeles Lakers’ win in Oklahoma City. He kicked Dennis Schroder in the groin, cursed at an official, and took his sweet time leaving the court.

All of that amounted to a $35,000 fine from the NBA.
Rondo was playing in just his fifth game of the season for the Lakers. He had eight points, four assists and two steals in 18 minutes before his fourth quarter ejection.
