Bulls' Rajon Rondo: Sits Saturday for rest purposes

Rondo sat out Saturday's preseason game against the Pacers for rest purposes.

Analysis:

Rondo is fully healthy, but coach Fred Hoiberg likely just wanted to give the veteran point guard a more extended rest with the Bulls' next game not arriving until Oct. 14 against the Cavaliers. Spencer Dinwiddie started at point guard in Rondo's stead, producing four points (1-3 FG, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 18 minutes.
