Carlisle doesn't expect Rondo to join Mavs again

DALLAS (AP) — The Dallas Mavericks, down 0-2 to Houston in their first-round playoff series, will be without Chandler Parsons for the rest of the season because of a right knee injury.

The Mavericks may be without Rajon Rondo, too.

Dallas said Wednesday that Parsons is looking at surgery options. He didn't play in Tuesday night's Game 2 loss.

The Mavericks also said Rondo sustained a back injury in Game 2, "is out indefinitely and is seeking additional medical opinions."

Rondo's first run-in with Rick Carlisle ended with player and coach both saying they needed to communicate better to make things work for the Mavericks.
