Impact Shortly after agreeing to a deal with the Rockets in early July to replace the opting-out Thabo Sefolosha at the NBA bubble, Mbah a Moute was stricken with a case of COVID-19, which delayed his arrival to Orlando. He was able to move past the symptoms about two weeks later, and after making the trip to Orlando and completing a quarantine process, Mbah a Moute has finally gotten the chance to join the team for workouts. However, because he has yet to see any action in the Rockets' exhibition contests and remains limited in practice, Mbah a Moute could be a candidate to sit out Friday's game against Dallas. Once he's deemed 100 percent, Mbah a Moute could push for a spot in coach Mike D'Antoni's rotation as a backup power forward or center.
