Houston Rockets starts NBA 2020-2021 season on a bad note as several players of their core team might be under 7-day strict quarantine. Among the confirmed, we have DeMarcus Cousins and John Wall who are definitely on the list. The players were placed in quarantine after a contract tracing protocol was followed strictly. Their opener with Oklahoma City Thunder has already been postponed and there are talks of postponing other matches as well with as many as three players testing positive.
James Harden was also penalized for violating the league’s health and safety protocols as well when he attended a party and was seen on the ground without a mask on. Rockets might resume play on Saturday where they will play Portland Trail Blazers with our without Cousins and Wall.
