Rondo Suspended for 1 game

If you haven’t seen it yet, this is what Rajon Rondo did in his last playoff game.

That is why he will not play in the second game vs. the Atlanta Hawks.

[I]The NBA has suspended Boston Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo for one game due to the contact he made with referee Marc Davis in the final minute of Sunday night’s Game 1.

Rondo had been trailing behind Davis after the referee whistled him for his first technical foul. When Davis stopped, Rondo continued and made contact with Davis’ back, drawing a second technical and immediate ejection. That limited contact was enough to cost Rondo an appearance in Game 2.

Sadly for Boston, the team already wrapped up Monday’s practice before it heard from the league regarding the suspension. Their on-floor preparation without Rondo will be limited to tomorrow morning’s shooraround at Georgia Tech. That’s not a lot of time to prepare for filling a role as gigantic as Rondo’s.
