The Rockets are suspending guard Kevin Porter Jr. and forward Christian Wood for one game after poor behavior during Saturday's loss against the Nuggets, per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. They will serve the suspension Monday and miss the team's game against the 76ers.
Rockets assistant coach John Lucas called out Porter and Wood at halftime on Saturday which led to a heated exchange with Porter, who ended up promptly leaving the arena, per ESPN and The Athletic. Wood was benched for the second half.
Lucas's criticism in the locker room reportedly centered around Wood and his effort level.
