Lakers point guard Rajon Rondo was shown sitting away from teammates after being subbed out during Los Angeles' 115–99 loss to the Nuggets on Wednesday night at the Staples Center.
According to Los Angeles Times reporter Tania Ganguli, Rondo likes to sit in courtside seats during games. She alluded to a February contest against the Pacers in which Rondo did the same, a moment that similarly caused a stir on social media.
The Lakers trailed by as many as 23 points in the second half before cutting their deficit to two with 10 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.
