Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo remains steadfast that he did not intentionally spit at Houston Rockets guard Chris Paul on Saturday, which led to a brawl and suspensions for both players and Lakers forward Brandon Ingram.
"This is the only time I'm going to address this," Rondo told ESPN on Tuesday. "I had a mouthpiece in my mouth and I exasperated because I was about to tell him to 'get the out of here.'
"Look at my body language (in the video). My hands on my hips. I turn away for a second. Look at Eric (Gordon) and (Carmelo Anthony) in the video. If they saw me spit, they would have turned their face up or something. They had no reaction."
