Rockets suspend both Kevin Porter Jr., and Christian Wood

The Rockets have suspended Kevin Porter Jr., and Christian Wood for Monday's game in Philadelphia after both crossed the line in Saturday's loss to the Nuggets.

Porter left Toyota Center in the middle of Saturday's game after blowing up in the locker room at halftime when assistant coach John Lucas challenged him when the Rockets gave up 47 points in the second quarter. According to The Athletic, Porter threw something and had to be separated from Lucas.

Wood didn't start in Saturday's game after showing up to the arena late, then, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, pouted about not starting and "showed little inclination to check into Saturday's game when Silas called upon him and Silas quickly moved onto other players.
