Everyone wants to look good on opening night.
While James Harden was at the Christmas party with the strippers, the other players were getting their haircuts.
The problem was too many of them were in one place at a time.
Contact tracing protocols caused the Rockets to send home three players Wednesday after rookie teammate Kenyon Martin Jr. returned a positive coronavirus test and needed to be tested again for confirmation, sources said.
Wall, Cousins and Martin were among Rockets players gathered on Tuesday evening at a player’s apartment away from the team facility getting haircuts, sources said. The Rockets listed Martin as “not with the team/self isolating” for the opener against Oklahoma City on Wednesday night in Houston, and sources told ESPN that he was awaiting further test results to confirm the original positive.
Rockets rookie Jae’Sean Tate is also among the players who were sent home Wednesday morning because of contact tracing, sources told ESPN.
Harden’s status is still up in the air.
