Holdout
By Anthony L. Cuaycong
Honesty has always been one of Rockets head coach Stephen Silas’ trademark traits, so he was just being himself when he spoke candidly about James Harden’s status heading into the 2020-21 season. Over the weekend, he held his first workout with players since being pried from the Mavericks to take the hot seat in late October, and the eight-time All-Star was a notable absence. At the time, he cited the National Basketball Association’s stringent novel coronavirus protocols as the primary cause; his would-be top dog could most recently be found partying in Atlanta and Las Vegas in contravention of the league’s directive against breaking quarantine outside of essential activities.
