The 2019-20 NBA schedule has been kind to the Houston Rockets over the week of Thanksgiving, including on Thursday’s Thanksgiving Day.
The Rockets are in the midst of a three-game homestand at Toyota Center this week, with two days off in between games on Sunday, Wednesday, and Saturday. That break allows the Rockets to have both a practice day (Friday) and a true off day (Thursday) between games.
Since the Rockets will be in San Francisco on Christmas Day to face the Golden State Warriors, the team’s players and coaches undoubtedly appreciate this rare in-season opportunity to spend one of the two major end-of-year U.S. holidays at home with family and/or friends.
Best of all, because all three games this week are in Houston, the team hasn’t lost any time due to travel. That’s allowed them to not only spend time with loved ones at home, but also to give back to the broader community with a series of charitable events.
Here’s a roundup of what the organization’s key stakeholders have done across Houston this holiday week.

The Rockets return to practice Friday and then to game action Saturday versus Atlanta, in what will be the debut of their new City uniforms and the “Space City Saturdays” theme for the remainder of the season.
