As the team has planned recently, veteran center Christian Wood did not play for the Rockets in the last game against the Kings. Since the Rockets are the team looking to "impact" the signing this season, prioritizing the playing time of young players is indeed the best option for the team at this stage.
However, players like Wood, Eric Gordon and Dennis Schroeder still had to appear on the bench, but in the third quarter of the game against the Kings, a fan suddenly broke into the stadium "naked":
Wood also expressed his views on social media:
"That was the first time I've seen someone running naked in a game, please don't want it again." Wood tweeted with a disgusting expression.
The Rockets and the NBA have yet to officially announce further measures against this fan.
On the other hand, the Rockets in the rebuilding stage also need to build different lineups through trades in the offseason in addition to developing young players, and the US media Nyhad Junic said in an article that the Rockets must put Eric Gordon and John Wall on the Rockets and push for trades:
In fact, the Rockets had news before this year's trade deadline that they would put two players on the shelves, and Eric Gordon did still have good trade value players, but it may be difficult for the Rockets to get rid of John Wall's contract.
Finally, according to Houston Chronicle reporter Jonathan Fagan, Rockets center Alperen Shinkin missed the past two games due to a left-foot injury, but the good news is that there is no Shenjing in the Rockets' next injury report against the Timberwolves:
Alperen Shinkin is arguably one of the Rockets' best young rising stars of the season, and for now, at least for now, Shinkin is a key part of the Rockets' rebuild.
