Ex-Mavs star started in-game melee by spitting at opponent. Here’s his punishment

Rajon Rondo was a headcase during his time with the Dallas Mavericks.

During his 46-game career in Dallas, he often fought with teammates and head coach Rick Carlisle.

Even though Rondo now plays for the Lakers, not much has changed. But now he has to actually pay for his antics.

On Saturday night, the veteran point guard started a major brawl by spitting on Houston Rockets point guard Chris Paul.

Initially, the Brandon Ingram of the Lakers and James Harden of the Rockets began a confrontation following a hard foul by Ingram on Harden.
