The move comes about after Rockets were unable to submit the minimum of eight players available for the game, after three of its members tested positive or inconclusive for coronavirus and four others were pre-emptively quarantined.
The NBA also announced that James Harden, the Rockets star, is also unavailable to play "due to a violation of health and safety protocols" after a video of the player was released recently in a nightclub without wearing a facemask.
