We've seen the NBA family step up and offer aid during the devastating flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey in Houston and the surrounding area.

Houston Rockets owner Leslie Alexander donated $10 million, the Rockets' Clint Capela has helped spread emergency information that helped rescue people, and Gerald Green was out himself in the storm looking for people to save.

Now, we have a story of an NBA player who was rescued with the help of Houston hip-hop artist Trae Tha Truth.

Jonathon Simmons, who signed a three-year, $20 million deal with the Orlando Magic this summer, was pushed out of his downtown Houston apartment by the storm, and had relocated to a friend's house in the suburbs.
