In the absence of James Harden willing to change, John Wall led the Houston Rockets in the NBA to 102: 94 against the Sacramento Kings. Wall got 28 points and was the top scorer of the game. Eric Gordon, who replaced eight-time Allstar Harden in the starting lineup, scored 21 points.
Harden had signed off with an ankle injury shortly before the start of the game, although his name was not on the Rockets’ injury list. On New Year’s Day, the 31-year-old contributed 33 points in the game against Sacramento.
Most recently, Harden, who has been playing in Houston since 2012, got into trouble with a trip to nightlife. A video circulated on social media that found “The Beard” partying in a club without a face mask. The league sentenced Harden to a fine of $ 50,000.
