The NBA is in the process of gathering more information after veteran point guard Rajon Rondo allegedly threatened a woman with a gun at her house last week.
A copy of the emergency protective order filed by a woman against Rajon Rondo was obtained by a reporter. Later that day, the order was granted.
She made allegations in her request.
She claimed that she asked the child to separate laundry when she asked the child to play video games. The woman said that the boy and another child were upset after the game console was ripped out of the wall.
The woman claims that after she left the house, she was confronted with a gun and told to see one of the children. The woman said that she brought the child downstairs because she was scared of the situation, and that the child was pulled outside by the man while he yelled at him. He demanded to see the other child, too, and she came outside, as he yelled at them for being afraid of him, the woman said.
The woman called the former interim Louisville Metro Police chief, who showed up at the house. The woman said that the man wouldn't let the man inside. The woman said she locked herself in the house with the kids and that she had a gun.
The woman filed for a protective order on Friday, saying that she was concerned for the safety of the children and that the man she was with, Rajo, had a history of volatile, erratic and explosive behavior.
The order was granted later Friday, with a judge saying that he must stay at least 500 feet away from the woman and the children, and that he must temporarily surrender any firearms to the Jefferson County Sheriff.
The NBA is aware of what happened and is in the process of gathering more information, according to Mike Bass.
According to a report by the website, Rondo has not been named as a suspect in any criminal report connected to the allegations.
The NBA player from Louisville, who played collegiately at Kentucky, just wrapped up his 16th season. The four-time All-Star and two-time NBA champion played 18 games for the Los Angeles Lakers before he was traded to Cleveland. He averaged 6.2 points and 4.9 assists in 21 games.
Information from Ramona Shelburne was used.
