Rockets Assistant Coach R.J. Adelman, the son of Head Coach Rick Adelman, has been charged with drunken driving, according to a television news report.

Police stopped R.J. Adelman on Nov. 19 for speeding and found alcohol containers in his car, Houston television station KRIV reported Wednesday night.

The team said Adelman was taking a leave of absence to get professional help.

"Our concern is for R.J.'s well being during this very challenging personal time," Rockets' GM Daryl Morey said in a statement released to The Associated Press. "We are grateful that nobody was injured. R.J. has taken a leave of absence from the team in order to seek professional assistance. Out of respect for him and his family, we will refrain from future public comments regarding his situation."
