Rajon Rondo received a two-game suspension for his scuffle with Kris Humphries in last night's Brooklyn Nets vs. Boston Celtics game at the TD Garden. The NBA's assist leader (12.9 per game) was the instigator in the fight that seeped into the stands. Rondo's shoving of Humpries after the power forward's hard foul on Kevin Garnett escalated the already tense situation further, leading to the squabble.

The Celtics are 8-7 and currently in fourth place in the Atlantic division. Their All-Star point guard will have to sit out the next two games which are against the Portland Trail Blazers and Milwaukee Bucks.
