VIDEOS: Houston Rockets interviews from 2021 media day

For the first time in two years, the Rockets held a traditional in-person media day on Monday at The Post Oak Hotel at Uptown Houston. The luxury retreat is owned by team owner Tilman Fertitta.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, nearly all media activities were virtual in the weeks leading up to the 2020-21 season. But that policy has changed for the 2021-22 campaign, and the Sept. 27 event was an opportunity for vaccinated media members to ask questions to veteran players like Christian Wood, Kevin Porter Jr., John Wall, Eric Gordon, Daniel Theis, Danuel House Jr., Jae’Sean Tate, and David Nwaba.

General manager Rafael Stone and head coach Stephen Silas also spoke on Monday, as did rookies Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun.
