The Rockets, per reporting from ESPN's Tim MacMahon and Adrian Wojnarowski, are dealing with two separate coronavirus-related issues.

More from ESPN:

After a video of Harden maskless and out at a club surfaced on social media, the NBA began investigating whether Harden violated the league's safety protocols by going to an unsanctioned indoor event sometime in the past week. The Rockets also had three players return tests that were either positive or inconclusive and had to put four other players into the league's contact tracing program, including former All-Stars DeMarcus Cousins and John Wall as well as rookie Kenyon Martin Jr., who was one of the players with conflicting COVID-19 test results.

Those players were also gathered at an apartment getting haircuts outside of NBA Covid-19 protocol.

ESPN also notes that, while no specific penalties are mentioned, the punishments for players who fail to comply with these league rules include potential warnings, fines or suspensions. Game forfeiture and loss of draft picks could be a team punishment.
