The Houston Rockets have been without a key player for the last two games and will be without Danuel House for the duration of their stay in the NBA Bubble, with the NBA announcing on Friday evening that House has left the Disney World campus and will not return.
The league announced on Friday that the Rockets forward had an unauthorized guest in his room for several hours.
The NBA has concluded its investigation of a recent violation of campus health and safety protocols. The findings are that: (i) Houston Rockets forward Danuel House had a guest in his hotel room over multiple hours on September 8 who was not authorized to be on campus and (ii) no evidence was found that other players or staff had contact with the guest or were involved in this incident.
“Mr. House is leaving the NBA campus and will not participate with the Rockets team in additional games this season.”
House was a key part of the Rockets rotation and style of play all season long. Without House, who is a sturdy 6-foot-7 and a strong driver in addition to being a capable 3-point shooter, the Rockets have to move further down the bench where the players aren’t quite as good as what House is capable of.
