The NBA fined Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo $35,000 for his actions leading up to his ejection in their 130-127 win against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday, the league announced on Saturday. Rondo was ejected early in the fourth quarter of their matchup at Chesapeake Energy Arena after an incident with Thunder guard Dennis Schroder, in which Rondo could be seen kneeing Schroder in the groin. Rondo, while being held back by LeBron James, then confronted official Ed Malloy who gave him the Flagrant 2 foul — which prompted the ejection — swearing at him as he slowly left the court.
