Could arrive in bubble Wednesday Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni said that Mbah a Moute (undisclosed) has been cleared to travel and could arrive to the NBA's bubble in Orlando as soon as Wednesday, Tim MacMahon of ES...
Impact Assuming Mbah a Moute quickly passes through all health-related protocols once he goes into a brief quarantine after landing Orlando, he should be ready to practice with the team at some point over the weekend. After sitting out the entire 2019-20 season and only being added to the Houston roster earlier this month as a replacement for Thabo Sefolosha (opt out), Mbah a Moute may be rustier than most players in Orlando. Nonetheless, if he's back practicing in the next few days, he'll likely be available to the Rockets in a depth role for their first seeding game July 31 against the Mavericks.

Could arrive in Orlando Wednesday Mbah a Moute (undisclosed) could arrive to the Orlando bubble as soon as Wednesday, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.
Impact While Mbah a Moute's timetable still isn't exact, it seems like we should expect him to be with the team by the end of the week. Once he arrives, he'll go through a mandatory quarantine period which involves passing two COVID-19 tests before he's able to practice. If everything goes to plan, it seems likely he'd be available for the Rockets' first seeding game July 31 against the Mavericks.

Not yet in Orlando Mbah a Moute has yet to join the Rockets in Orlando for practices since signing with the team earlier this month, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Houston has yet to provide a reason behind Mbah a Moute's ongoing absence, though the team reportedly expects him to enter the NBA bubble at Walt Disney World "soon." Signed as a replacement on the 15-man roster for Thabo Sefolosha, who opted out of the season restart, Mbah a Moute is only expected to handle a minor bench role for the Rockets once he's available.
