Multiple Rockets Players Were Involved With Unidentified Female That Entered Team Hotel

Houston Rockets players are in the middle of a big scandal after a female entered the team hotel. Rockets forward Danuel House Jr. may have a lot of problems right now. Initial reports suggested that the Rockets role player brought a female COVID-19 testing official to his room. The team will play against the Los Angeles Lakers Thursday and it looks like the problem will affect more Houston players.

“A female entered the Rockets’ team hotel on Monday night, passing multiple security checkpoints before being flagged for her entry, sources said,” Shams Charania and Sam Amick of The Athletic reported. “She exited the hotel in the early hours of Tuesday morning. The league cited early data points that implicated two members of the Rockets, House and Tyson Chandler, sources said. When the female was questioned by NBA security, she did not implicate House’s name and it is uncertain whether she remains on campus, sources said. She claimed to have contact with Chandler and another player, not named House, according to sources.

“According to sources, the Rockets’ entire team had to enter a quarantine period on Tuesday due to the potential exposure. Those sources said there appears to be no video connecting House and the female; only the flagging of her entering and leaving the hotel, and the possibility of a door opening and closing to match those timelines. The NBA has informed involved parties that it has circumstantial evidence implicating House.”

Houston Rockets support their players after the female entered the hotel

The Rockets player has denied to the NBA that he took part in any improper contact with the woman.

House missed Game 3 due to “personal reasons.” There was a lot of caution toward the medical health and safety protocols inside the Orlando bubble. The league started looking into potential improper proximity with House or Chandler. According to sources, the staffer wasn’t an NBA employee.

The NBA cleared Chandler Wednesday. The Rockets didn’t add him to the injury report for Game 4. Houston is out. Chandler is cleared and the NBA is focused on House.

The NBA has to take care of players and their attitude towards the protocols.

The Rockets have supported their player, and House has been in quarantine during the investigation. We don’t know whether Houston will suit up for Game 4.
