ANALYSIS: Rondo was dealt from the Los Angeles Clippers to the Memphis Grizzlies this offseason before Memphis bought him out. The 35-year-old appeared in 45 regulars season contests last season between the Clippers and Atlanta Hawks. He averaged 5.4 points and 4.4 assists per game across both stints. Rondo has previously spent two seasons with the Lakers and helped them win the 2019-20 NBA title.
