Remember the play where Rajon Rondo was kneed in the face by teammate Richard Jefferson? Turns out he fractured his left orbital bone and nose:
Dallas Mavericks point guard Rajon Rondo has an orbital fracture in his left eye as well as a nasal fracture and will miss at least three games, the Mavericks announced Monday.
Rondo suffered the injury Saturday against Orlando and was evaluated Sunday by the Mavericks’ medical staff. He will not play against Minnesota on Monday, nor will he travel to Golden State and Sacramento later this week.
“It was a really bad collision,” Mavericks center Tyson Chandler said of the shot Rondo took to the head just 98 seconds into Saturday’s game. “I don’t know what the prognosis is, but he is pretty beat-up.”
With blood pouring out of his nose, Rondo stayed down on the court for about a minute before being escorted to the locker room by the Mavs’ athletic training staff.
Check out the ball boy’s expression. Not sure if he’s feeling sad for Rondo or himself because he has to mop up a pool of blood.
