    None of our damn business. I'm only glad Sterling is okay and I hope he has no long term impact from the event. If he does, I hope the Rox do everything they can to provide him with the help he needs.

    Not every reply has to be a joke.

    Glad he's ok. But still :(

    I would KPJ stay out of these type of situations. Honestly none of them should have gone to a club

    This....

    "
    The league’s protocols, made as a measure to keep the league’s players safe in light of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, prohibit players from going to bars, lounges or clubs. In many ways, situations such as this one being made public raise awareness to violations of those protocols — clearing the way for the league to determine whether its rules were broken. The NBA’s investigation into the entire situation is ongoing, and a league spokesperson told The Athletic via a statement: “We are in the process of gathering information and hopeful that Sterling makes a full recovery.


    Rocket players seems to keep breaking rules... c'mon now. No idea if any of those players grew up from a modest family income. Not clubbin' for a NBA paycheck, is such an easy thing to do.

    no surprise that more Rockets were there also. The part where it was just him and one other person didn't really make sense. The reality is this is life in the NBA. they go out and about all the time. The rockets aren't the only ones. They just happened to go out on a bad night

    Making it seem like going into the wrong sprinter van being the main reason for this is super sketchy too

    Seems to like those strip clubs. Wants to make sure and model after Harden to the T. I appreciate the dedication.

    “Blood was everywhere, dripped all over the floor.”
    “He could have died.”
    “He was discharged Monday [afternoon].

    LOL

    Get well, fully recover.

    So, KPJ is 20, and was in a Strip club that requires you to be 21? Seems there is liability there.

    Also, I am guessing both will be unavailable for breaking protocal - not a good look for KPJ as he is trying to prove he is mature.....being 20 and at a strip club at 7am is NOT mature, and Brown TAKING him there is even worse for leadership.

    So much for culture TILLMAN!

    It is not, especially for a guy on a 2nd chance. Bad look for him, bad look for Brown and his lack of leadership, and bad look for the Rockets....glad everyone will be ok.

    I mean the cops could have arrested him for being in the club underaged.....prolly why he didn't give his name.

    Who cares about Covid protocol?
    From the article it seems that his life was in danger. This was a murder attempt ..and all for going into the wrong van?
    Just a few more strikes or worse luck and the headline could be Rockets player dies in Miami.

    If you guys think the players aren’t still going out you are wrong. Our guys are just stupid enough to get into a fight. I was out in Dallas last weekend and the whole Sixers team was at an after hours club I was at.
