It's the NBA just started and one game was postponed - the meeting between Houston and Oklahoma was not played due to the appearance of the coronavirus among the "Rockets".

Houston basketball players John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins ​​and Kenyon Martin Jr. gathered in an apartment Tuesday night, away from the team, for a haircut, according to ESPN.

Martin then tested positive for the coronavirus, and Jacin Tate also tested positive after a search for contacts. Ben McLimore, who tested positive a few days ago, is also in isolation.

"Three Houston players have tested positive or unclear for the coronavirus under the NBA's testing program. Four more players are currently quarantined by contact tracing protocol. Additionally, Harden is unavailable due to health and safety protocol violations. All other Rokits players were tested again today and all gave negative results. "Houston has one more player unavailable due to injury," the NBA said in a statement.

He built on all that the scandal surrounding James Harden - he was caught in a strip club, and he was not wearing a mask and was violating NBA protocol. The protocol prohibits players from going to bars and clubs, and they are not allowed to participate in gatherings where there are more than 15 people.

Harden was fined 50.000 dollars, and the basketball player defended himself that he is not what he seems.

"I went to a friend's party, not a strip club. And now it's a problem. Every day something else," Harden wrote on Instagram, but later deleted the post.
