The Los Angeles Clippers acquired veteran guard Rajon Rondo from the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for Lou Williams, the Clippers announced Thursday.
The Clippers also sent two future second-round picks in the deal.
Rondo gives the Clippers some additional leadership and playmaking. Los Angeles ranks 19th in the Association with 24.3 assists per game.
Atlanta inked the two-time NBA champ to a two-year, $15-million contract this past offseason. The four-time All-Star struggled during his brief time with the Hawks, averaging career lows in points (3.9 per game) and assists (3.5) over 27 appearances in 2020-21.
Williams, a three-time Sixth Man of the Year winner, remains an effective scorer off the bench. The 34-year-old is averaging 12.1 points and shooting a career-high 37.8% from deep.
Williams played for his hometown Hawks from 2012-14.
