Sources: Rockets' Danuel House Jr. faces NBA probe for potential violation of bubble protocol

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Houston Rockets forward Danuel House Jr.'s status for the remainder of the Western Conference semifinals is in jeopardy as the NBA probes a potential violation of campus protocol, sources told ESPN.

House, the Rockets' sixth man, has denied any violation on a matter that has the league probing his activity within the team hotel, sources said.

He did not leave the perimeter of the campus, sources said.

House was a late scratch for Houston's Game 3 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers because of what the Rockets termed "personal reasons," and sources said there's no indication that the league will allow him to play in Game 4 on Thursday.
