Big man Christian Wood, guard Dante Exum, and head coach Stephen Silas each addressed the media Thursday following the third day of Houston Rockets training camp for the 2021-22 season.
The Rockets are midway through a week-long stint in coastal Galveston, which is designed to help the team bond off the court, as well. Early next week, they transition back to Houston’s Toyota Center, where the preseason opener is set for Tuesday, Oct. 5 versus Washington.
Rookie big man Alperen Sengun, who missed each of the first two days of training camp due to a non-COVID-related illness, returned to the practice court on Thursday to make his training camp debut. Sengun was selected at No. 16 overall in the first round of the NBA’s 2021 draft.
Here’s a roundup of videos and quotes from the post-practice interviews with Silas, Wood, and Exum. After an off day Friday, training camp resumes on Saturday, again from the Galveston Island Convention Center.
Alperen Sengun was on the floor at training camp today after missing the first two days with an illness (non-COVID related).
