With the season opener already postponed earlier this week, the Houston Rockets face a new COVID-19 contact tracking chain ahead of Saturday’s game against Portland due to a positive test from a team member.
The final round of contract tracking involves Eric Gordon and others, with John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins facing forty-seven days, according to The Athletic.
The Rockets ’game Wednesday against Oklahoma City was postponed because the team didn’t have the minimum eight players required by the league. The NBA announced that three Rockets players had tested positive or inconclusive for the coronavirus, and that another four were quarantined due to league safety and health protocols.
Ben McLemore and debutant Kenyon Martin Jr. they were one of the Houston players who tested positive Wednesday, according to ESPN.
James Harden was also unfit to play due to a violation of league safety and health protocols, earning a $ 50,000 fine after the video appeared on social media without a mask at a party Monday night. Harden’s four-day forty expires on Friday, so he would be eligible to face the Trail Blazers if Saturday’s game is played.
The cousins seemed angry about the last round of numbers, piulant “Maneuver for the bulls, t” along with an angry red-faced emoji Thursday night.
