The Houston Rockets’ troubles continue into the NBA season.
The game between the Rockets and the Oklahoma Thunder, which was to take place tonight, was canceled because the Houston club did not gather the required number of 8 people for the game.
Chris Clemons is unable to play due to a recent Achilles tendon injury. Four more basketball players are in quarantine and the remaining players had positive or inconclusive coronavirus tests.
Kenyon Martin, a newcomer to the team, became infected with the coronavirus. Still, John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins visited Martin’s residence on Tuesday night. According to ESPN, all the basketball players had come to cut their hair.
Both Wall and Cousins tested negative for COVID-19, but the rules still require them to be quarantined.
Jae’Sean Tate and Mason Jones are also forced to spend time at home. At the time, it was reported a few days ago that forward Ben McLemore had infected COVID-19.
The NBA also ruled that James Harden, who allegedly visited the strip club, violated the league’s health protocol. Basketball players cannot visit mass gatherings or public places during a pandemic.
For such misconduct, the NBA awarded Harden $ 50,000. The Rockets leader was not disqualified for the game.
Harden introduced negative coronavirus tests for three consecutive days: Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. It is true that the basketball player was infected in the summer.
The next game is expected to be played by the Rockets on a Saturday through Sunday night when they meet with the Portland Trail Blazers.
