The Houston Rockets are once again making headlines for all the wrong reasons. According to multiple team insiders, a major confrontation erupted during practice between a key Rockets star and head coach Ime Udoka.
Witnesses claim the heated exchange started over playing time and game strategy but quickly escalated into personal insults. The star reportedly stormed out of practice and threatened to “never suit up again” if changes weren’t made immediately.
Teammates tried to step in and calm the situation, but the damage may already be done. Social media erupted after the story leaked, with fans split between supporting the player and calling for tougher discipline from the organization.
This latest controversy adds to growing concerns about team chemistry. With the Rockets rebuilding around young talent, such high-profile conflicts could derail their progress and turn the locker room into a war zone.
The question now is whether the organization can patch things up before the drama spills onto the court. Sources claim a closed-door meeting is already being scheduled to resolve the matter, but some believe the rift may be beyond repair.
