"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Dallas Mavericks have suspended point guard Rajon&amp;nbsp;Rondo one game for conduct detrimental to the team, the team announced Wednesday.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rondo was benched on Tuesday night after a heated exchange with head coach Rick Carlisle. The confrontation occurred with about eight minutes remaining in the third quarter.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Devin Harris took over the point guard duties after the exchange and Rondo did not re-enter the game.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"It\u2019s an emotional game and we had a difference of opinion,\" Carlisle told reporters after the game. \"There was an exchange, and then, in my mind, it was over. ... Once it was over, it was over.\"\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rondo was acquired by Dallas in a trade on Dec. 18 and has started all 25 games he has played in since the trade. He missed six games earlier this month with facial fractures.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rondo is averaging 9.0 points and 6.2 assists per game for the Mavericks this season.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Dan Gartland&lt;/em&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
