 League sources told ESPN that Rondo, who suffered the injury in
the first quarter of Saturday night's win in Orlando, was scheduled
to be evaluated Sunday by the Mavericks' medical staff to establish
how long he will be sidelined.
The injury occurred when Rondo tripped and was accidentally kneed in
the face by teammate Richard Jefferson. Jefferson did not see Rondo
on the floor as he started to sprint down the court on a fast break.
In 20 games since being acquired by Dallas from the Boston Celtics
on Dec. 18, Rondo is averaging 9.7 points and 6.9 assists, while
shooting 40 percent from the floor.

The Rockets still expect Howard to return for the final few weeks of
the regular season as well as the playoffs, but now they believe
Howard will be out for weeks instead of days, as originally thought.
