Rondo Could Face Game 2 Suspension For Bumping Referee

Apr 30, 2012 12:48 AM

Rajon Rondo was ejected from Game 1 and may be suspended from Game 2 after bumping referee Marc Davis.

Rond's ejection came with 41 seconds remaining in Boston's 83-74 loss to the Hawks.

“Obviously I was upset about the call and I said some words to Marc,” Rondo said. “I deserved the first tech, and as I was walking I thought he stopped, my momentum carried me into him – I even think I tripped on his foot. I didn’t intentionally chest-bump him. But that’s what it appears to be.”
