Rockets head coach Mike D'Antoni said his team is waiting like everybody else to see how the situation unfolds after the NBA suspended its season Wednesday night.
The Rockets were scheduled to play against the Los Angeles Lakers at Staples Center on Thursday night, but everything is on pause for sports leagues across the world.
D'Antoni told FOX 26's Mark Berman the Rockets are abiding by health experts' recommendations and staying ready for when they can get back to work.
"It's kind of a shot in the dark since no one's ever experienced this," D'Antoni told Berman. "I'm sure there'll be a lot of individual workouts at 1st & then as we find more out, we'll sprinkle in team practices & try to gear up when it looks like we're going back to work."
