The Houston Rockets’ 2020-21 season has been marred with trials and tribulations off the court, as the team has seen a litany of scandals in a relatively short period of time. The Rockets’ first issue came prior to the start of the season when James Harden decided not to show up to training camp, opting for an event-filled weekend of partying and clubbing in Atlanta and Las Vegas instead.
Harden told first-year Rockets coach Stephen Silas that he would come to Houston to do a private workout, which never happened.
