LOS ANGELES -- Rajon Rondo has sat and watched some games this season, at times, from an empty courtside seat near the Los Angeles Lakers' bench.
But when Rondo did it again Wednesday night before the end of a 115-99 loss to the Denver Nuggets at Staples Center, it created a stir. A photo of the Lakers' point guard seated four seats over from the Lakers' coaching staff and head athletic trainer went viral, and some on social media speculated about why he wasn't sitting with his team.
Rondo, who has been a positive mentor to the younger Lakers players and has been like an assistant coach at times to Luke Walton this season, said he did not see what all the fuss was about.
