Rajon Rondo’s brother ejected after altercation with Russell Westbrook

The NBA had warned spectators not to be verbally aggressive to players during games.

William Rondo, Rajon Rondo’s brother, was ejected from the Los Angeles Lakers’ series-clinching game 5 win over the Houston Rockets after trash-talking Russell Westbrook.

ESPN’s Marc Spears reports that Rajon Rondo said that his brother called Westbrook “trash” before giving him the “Lillard wave”. Rockets and NBA security then escorted William Rondo, who is in charge of the barbers, manicurists and hair braiders inside of the bubble, out of the building.
