The Houston Rockets were short-staffed in their Saturday defeat to Portland Trail Blazers in overtime and are expected to miss center DeMarcus Cousins, point guard John Wall, shooting guard Eric Gordon and guard Mason Jones for at least one more game due to their seven-day quarantine.
The players had already been ruled out for Saturday’s game and are expected to miss Monday’s game against the Denver Nuggets. As reported by ESPN, the players can join team activities on Wednesday before the Rockets play against the Sacramento Kings on Thursday.
Earlier in the week, James Harden was fined $50,000 for violating the league’s health and safety protocols after he attended a private indoor party, though he made his return on Saturday, pouring a 44-point performance.
