The NBA has postponed the Houston Rockets vs. OKC Thunder game set for Wednesday night — because the Rockets don’t have enough players available to field a team due to COVID restrictions.
An NBA team needs at least 8 players to compete — and the Rockets don’t have enough guys.
Here’s the deal … the NBA says, “Three Houston Rockets players have returned tests that were wither positive or inconclusive for coronavirus.”
Unclear which Rockets players returned the positive or inconclusive COVID tests.
The league says, “Following the contract tracing protocol, 4 other players are quarantined at this time.”
Rockets superstars John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins are 2 of the players in the contact tracing protocol, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania.
As for James Harden, the NBA says the superstar is also unavailable due to “violation of the health and safety protocols.”
Harden was spotted partying this week without a mask. Some people claimed Harden was at a strip club but Harden says he was just showing his “home girl love” at a private event.
The Rockets vs. Thunder game was supposed to be one of the NBA’s marquee opening night match ups to kick off the 2020-21 season.
