The way Danuel House was effectively banished by the NBA for allegedly bringing an unauthorized guest into his hotel room during the middle of the Western Conference Semifinals "didn't sit well with his teammates or head coach," according to Kelly Iko of The Athletic.
"From what I understand, House apologized to the entire team before exiting the bubble," wrote Iko. "It was a bad decision made on his part, but one that didn’t just affect the team — it might have affected his future."
The Rockets re-signed House on a three-year, $11.1 million deal in 2019.
