BOSTON (CBS) – Rajon Rondo did not play in Game 3 of the first round series between the Chicago Bulls and Boston Celtics, but that did not prevent the veteran point guard from trying to get involved in the game.
After a Jae Crowder jump shot in the first half, Rondo stuck out his leg as Crowder ran back up the floor next to the Bulls bench.
The attempted trip caught the eye of the NBA and after an investigation over the weekend, the league announced Rondo will be fined $25,000 for the incident.
Rondo claimed after Game 3 that the leg extension was not malicious.
