Rondo suspended 1 game for berating official

Sacramento Kings point guard Rajon Rondo has been suspended for one game for berating an official in Mexico City.

Rondo earned a double-technical foul after harassing a referee in the Dec. 3 game against the Boston Celtics. Upon collecting the second tech, Rondo refused to leave the court and had to be escorted by teammates.

Rondo has had a rejuvenated season thus far, averaging a double-double with 12.6 points and 11 assists per game. He's also averaging 6.9 rebounds, an astounding figure considering he stands at just 6-foot-1.

After a slow start, Sacramento has picked it up of late, going 8-8 over its last 16 contests. The team has a large stretch off, as Rondo won't sit out until Tuesday against the Houston Rockets.
