Rajon Rondo Retires From The NBA

While making an appearance on the “All the Smoke” podcast, Matt Barnes asked Rajon Rondo if his time in the NBA is up.

Rajon Rondo confirmed to Barnes and the world that he is officially retiring from the league after 16 seasons. He hasn’t played since the 2021-22 season for the Los Angeles Lakers and Cleveland Cavaliers. The two-time champ is 38-years-old.

“Absolutely,” said Rondo. “Yeah, I’m done. I can’t. I’d rather spend time with my kids.”

“What a time, it was definitely something that I never took for granted when I was in the game,” Rondo said. “I loved every minute of it, and I appreciate the brotherhood that I was able to share and bond and grow with over the years. I’ve learned so much in this game and it’s made me the man who I am today. … I tell people all the time, this wasn’t a dream of mine, it was a goal. I was able to lock in, stay disciplined, I didn’t party a lot in college. But it was worth the sacrifice of me getting to where I wanted to be in life.”

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, confirmed by the Houston Rockets, Steven Adams will be out for the rest of the season due to undergoing season-ending ankle surgery on his his left ankle.

Last week, Adams was ruled out with a Grade 3 ankle sprain. The injury happened during their matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans.

The 32-year-old getting injured leaves the Rockets weakened at their center position; another position they must try to fix during their quest to make a run for the NBA title this season. Center and point guard are two of the biggest holes for this organization.

This season, Adams averaged 5.8 points and 8.6 rebounds in 22.8 minutes per game. He was a big part of their bully ball identity, as his unmatched physicality is what gave him an edge over his opponents.

In June of last year, Houston signed Adams to a three-year, $39 million contract.
