• Pelicans' Rajon Rondo: Limited by groin issues in Game 5 loss

  05/09/2018 • By RotoWire Staff

  Rondo totaled seven points (3-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt), seven assists, two rebounds and three steals across 21 minutes in New Orleans' 113-104 loss to the Warriors in Game 5 of their Western Conference semifinal-round playoff series. Rondo was limited by a sore groin in the second half, leading to his lowest minutes total of the postseason. The veteran guard may have finished up the series in lackluster fashion due to the limited playing time, but he undoubtedly made his mark during the playoffs. Rondo finished the postseason with averages of 10.3 points, 12.2 assists, 7.6 rebounds and 1.4 steals across 33.6 minutes over nine games, posting two double-doubles while dishing out double-digit dimes on six occasions overall. He'll head into free agency having generated his best shooting percentage (46.8) since the 2012-13 campaign, with a return to New Orleans also potentially in the cards.

  05/02/2018 • By RotoWire Staff

  Rondo collected 22 points (8-15 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 12 assists, seven rebounds and five steals across 38 minutes during New Orleans' 121-116 loss to the Warriors in Game 2 of their Western Conference semifinal-round playoff series. He also committed a game-high seven turnovers, but the remainder of Rondo's line was undeniably stellar as he joined Anthony Davis and Jrue Holiday in the 20-point club on the Pelicans for the night. The 12-year veteran's scoring and steal totals were his best of six postseason games thus far, and he's now dished out double-digit assists in five of those contests as well. He'll look to put together another similarly impressive effort when New Orleans goes for their first win of the series in Friday's Game 3.
