Houston Rockets forward Danuel House Jr. had to leave the NBA's Orlando bubble and will not play again this season after a violation of the league's health and safety protocols was confirmed.
According to information provided by the NBA, an investigation revealed that House Jr. had an unauthorized guest in his hotel room for several hours last Tuesday.
"Mr. House Jr. will be leaving the NBA campus and will not participate with the Rockets team in additional games this season," the league said in an official statement, which issued this afternoon.
However, according to the player's version, House Jr. denied that he had committed any type of violation of the security protocols established in the Orlando bubble.
No other players or staff had contact with the guest or were found to be involved in the incident, the league noted.
House Jr., 27, who had become the Rockets' sixth player, is averaging 11.4 points and 5.8 rebounds in nine playoff games in the NBA bubble at Walt Disney World Resort.
His coach, veteran Mike D'Antoni, had referred to him, 27, as one of the most underrated players in the NBA.
