Like every other NBA organization, the Houston Rockets have been out of action since March due to the novel coronavirus pandemic. NBA commissioner Adam Silver ordered teams to shut down their facilities and forbid players from having team workouts, as the league set its sights on flattening the curve and reducing the spread of the COVID-19.
The greater Houston area has been hit hard by the COVID-19, as there have been over 10,000 cases and 246 deaths as a result of the pandemic. This has placed a large demand on law enforcement officials and public health officials, as they’ve been needed now more than ever.
