NBA insider Ric Bucher believes Houston Rockets coach Mike D’Antoni poses a potential concern for the NBA’s agreed-upon bubble idea.
The NBA has had quite a complicated path leading up to the announcement of the league’s resumption, to say the least. There’s been an unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, which is re-surging in Houston for a second phase. There have also been a myriad of social injustices that have sparked protests nationwide, of which Houston Rockets point guard Russell Westbrook also took part in.
This has led to players being forced to make a tough decision on what’s best for them and their families, and it seems like everyday we’re finding out about a new player who has opted out of joining their team in the league’s bubble, which will be held in Orlando.
