The NBA fined Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo $35,000 for making "unsportsmanlike physical contact" with Thunder guard Dennis Schroder, "verbal abuse" of an official and not leaving the court in a timely manner following his ejection from Friday night's game.
"You know, you're a four-, five-time felon, the judgment is kind of harsher when you've had a history prior," Rondo said before the Lakers played the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday.
Rondo has been fined numerous times throughout his 14-year career for run-ins with officials, including a hefty $147,007 fine in 2012 for throwing a ball at a referee; a $100,000 fine in 2013 for making contact with a ref; and an $86,364 fine in 2015 for directing a homophobic slur at an official.
