As per Toktam Jorshari's lawsuit, Rondo and his girlfriend were involved in the violent altercation in July earlier this year.

She has also demanded $1 million in damages for emotional distress caused by the incident. However, Rondo's lawyer has defended the claims and suggested that his client will not settle and will fight the case lawfully. The defendant claims that Jorshari apparently refused to put on a mask, or even move her car and wasn't in any assigned parking spot. Rondo's lawyer claims that the NBA star was hesitant, as he had a fractured thumb hence nudged her with his elbow.
