DALLAS (105.3 The Fan) - Rajon Rondo sat out last night's double overtime loss to the Mavericks with back spasms, but it seems he still wanted to make an impact.
A video has emerged of Rondo, while on the Kings bench, appearing to try and trip Mavericks point guard Deron Williams in the 4th quarter.

It was the first time Rondo had been at the American Airlines Center since last year's debacle. Dallas made a trade for Rondo mid-season thinking he could be the final piece to contend.
The trade simply didn't work and Rondo left the team in the middle of the first round of the Mavs playoff series against the Houston Rockets. At the time, the team cited a back injury as the reason for why Rondo didn't continue playing, however, the fact that Rondo left the team entirely and never returned sparked a lot of rumors.
This will surely get the league's attention.
