Eric Gordon, Danuel House, Austin Rivers Reportedly Express Frustration With Roles
Eric Gordon, Danuel House, and Austin Rivers were among Houston Rockets players who expressed frustration with their roles throughout last season, sources told Kelly Iko, Sam Amick, and Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Gordon was reportedly not pleased with how his role on the team had diminished since the 2016-17 season.
House\'s frustration with his usage on offense built up to verbally challenging Mike D\'Antoni, Russell Westbrook, and James Harden throughout the season.
Rivers, who was also frustrated by his inconsistent playing time, was reportedly blamed by Harden for a missed free throw after Rivers stood up on the bench.
The details follow the news of Russell Westbrook seeking a trade away from the Rockets.
P.J. Tucker has also reportedly been irate over his contract situation throughout last season.
