The Houston Rockets and Oklahoma City Thunder game scheduled for Wednesday night has been postponed as the Rockets do not have the league-required eight available players needed to proceed with the contest, the NBA announced.
The NBA said three Rockets players have returned tests that were either positive or inconclusive for the coronavirus under the NBA's testing program. In addition, four other players are quarantined under the contact tracing protocol, and Chris Clemons (ruptured Achilles) was unavailable because of injury.
The league also said Rockets star James Harden was fined $50,000 and was "unavailable due to a violation of the Health and Safety Protocol" based on a video, published by Black Sports Online, that has been circulating in recent days in which he appeared maskless at a Houston club.
