The Mavericks announced on Friday that Rondo would be inactive for the next three games against the Portland Trailblazers, Los Angeles Clippers and Utah Jazz leading up to the All-Star break.
Rondo also suffered a nose injury when he was inadvertently kneed in the face by teammate Richard Jefferson while coming up after tripping over the leg of the Orlando Magic’s Elfrid Payton early in a game on January 31.
A four-time NBA All-Star, Rondo was traded from the Boston Celtics to the Dallas Mavericks along with Dwight Powell on December 18, 2014 in exchange for Jae Crowder, Jameer Nelson, Brandan Wright, a conditional 2015 1st round draft pick and a 2016 2nd round draft pick.
In 21 games since being traded to Dallas from Boston, Rondo has averaged 9.2 points and 6.5 assists per game. But Rondo has also put up a record pace of 3-point shots, going 13 of 33 for a career-high .394.
