Surprisingly, the fan who Rajon Rondo made the gun gesture at ended up getting ejected during Suns vs Lakers
The Suns vs Lakers showdown at the Staples Center was far from your typical game of basketball. Tempers flared all across the contest in the Lakers camp as the side dwindled and wavered infront of a dominant Phoenix Suns outfit.
Although the Lakers are only in the second game of the season, its clear that things are far from hunky dory in the team’s setup. The side is struggling to function as a unit with all the new signings yet to acclimatise themselves with the modus operandi of the team.

Rondo was caught making a gun gesture at the fan not once but twice with the fan slapping his hand away in retaliation. For some bemusing reason though, the fan was subsequently ejected from the encounter.
It is yet to be known what resulted in the brawl between the fan and Rondo. This wasn’t the only fight on the night though with Anthony Davis and Dwight Howard seen lashing out at each other as well as things went from bad to worse for the Lakers who eventually lost 115-105 on the day.
While the side couldn’t have augured for a worse start, the team still has 80 games to redeem its season.
