LOS ANGELES: Los Angeles guard Rajon Rondo was fined $35,000 by the NBA on Saturday (Sunday in Manila), a day after he was ejected from the Lakers’ 130-127 NBA win over the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Rondo was fined for “unsportsmanlike physical contact” with Dennis Schroder after aiming a kick at the Thunder guard’s groin and for verbal abuse of a game official, and failing to leave the court in a timely manner upon his ejection,” NBA vice president Kiki VanDeWeghe said.
