The Rockets' P.J. Tucker, Gerald Green and James Ennis spent part of their off day at Hobby Airport on Tuesday working with Southwest Airlines to surprise travelers.
The Rockets' trio did a bit of everything at the airport, helping load and unload luggage, helping travelers check in for their flight and greeting travelers as they landed in Houston.
The partial government shutdown has led to a shortage of some Transportation Security Administration employees, but that didn't force the Rockets' players into any emergency duty. They kept their jobs fairly light-hearted as they handed out Rockets T-shirts and shook as many hands as possible.
