Danuel House Jr., who comes off the bench for the Houston Rockets, missed Game 3 of their series against the Lakers after being ruled out for “personal” reasons. It was a dubious distinction and no one could quite figure out what was going on, but now we know: Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports is reporting that the NBA is investigating House “for allegedly allowing a female COVID-19 testing official into his hotel room.”
Haynes adds that House is pleading innocent in all this.
Before the NBA bubble, it was an open question of whether and how players would risk it to sneak Instagram models into the bubble. Stephen A. Smith repeatedly advocated for their needs. In the NFL, Seahawks rookie Kemah Siverand got cut after sneaking a woman into the team hotel.
But this conundrum with House is a whole ‘nother scenario. We’ll see what happens from here…
What would be wrong with House doing that? They’re both consenting adults, and both inside the bubble, right?
And to think, the solution was staring Adam Silver in the face this whole time: Just hire Instagram models as Covid testers. Win win.
Just a nurse making a house call.
