Four Houston Rockets players can't return from quarantine until Wednesday, source says

Four Houston Rockets players -- center DeMarcus Cousins, point guard John Wall, shooting guard Eric Gordon and two-way guard Mason Jones -- who were considered close contacts under the NBA's COVID-19 protocols will be forced to quarantine until Wednesday, a league source told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

The players had already been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers, and their quarantine will also keep them out of Monday's game at Denver.

The source said that, assuming negative COVID-19 testing, the players can return to team activities Wednesday before the Rockets face the Sacramento Kings on Thursday.
