Veteran NBA guard Rajon Rondo didn't pick up with a team for the 2022-23 season, and it sounds like he has his next gig lined up once he officially retires.

According to Jack Pilgrim of On3, Rondo is set to take on an assistant role for the Kentucky men's basketball team next season:

"Rondo wasn't just making a pitstop in Lexington for the high-profile matchup, sources tell KSR. The former Kentucky standout is actually back on campus taking classes and hanging around the basketball offices. And the plan is to stick around, with Rondo in early conversations with John Calipari about joining the staff—like Tyler Ulis—as a student assistant next season.
