Rondo, 37, is not allowed to possess a firearm because of a no-contact order filed against him in 2022.
The four-time All-Star played 16 seasons in the NBA for nine different teams and won two NBA titles, one with the Boston Celtics and one with the Los Angeles Lakers. He last played for the Cleveland Cavaliers during the 2021-22 season.
