On January 2, Beijing time, according to Shams, in the Houston Rockets' 111-124 loss to the Denver Nuggets, the Rockets' locker room erupted into a fierce conflict, and assistant coach Lucas named a number of players, including Porter Jr. and Wood.
At that time, at halftime, after assistant coach Lucas loudly criticized several players, including Kevin Porter Jr. and Christian Wood, Porter and Lucas had a heated argument, threw something and immediately left the field, and Wood refused to come on as a substitute in the second half.
It is worth mentioning that during the game, rocket officials claimed that Porter Jr.'s left thigh was being examined and therefore did not return. Silas, on the other hand, said it was his decision not to let Wood play, which was the exact opposite of what Shams exposed.
Today, the Rockets' record can be said to be very bad, the team is currently 10 wins and 27 losses, ranking first from the bottom in the West, and now, the team has suffered seven consecutive losses.
However, what is more terrifying than the loss is that the Rockets actually had infighting, which also caught the team off guard. Even more exaggerated, Porter Jr. threw something at assistant coach John Lucas in the Rockets locker room.
It is worth mentioning that when he was playing for the Cavaliers, Porter Jr. found that when he missed the game due to injury, the Cavaliers moved his locker to new signing Torrian Prince. At that time, he was shouting and throwing food in the knight's locker room.
