Rookie Royce White wants to play, does not blame Rockets

Houston Rockets rookie Royce White wants to get on the court as soon as possible to play with the team that drafted him. With that said, until the Rockets and the NBA develop a fair way of dealing with mental health, Royce White claims that the chances of him never being able to live out his dream and play in the league are “extremely high.”

However, White admittedly doesn’t cast blame on Houston for the situation he and the team are both currently in, which has kept the first round draft pick from playing thus far this NBA season.

Royce White spoke about the unfortunate scenario in a radio interview and said,

“The reality is that it is not Houston’s fault. As much as we always want to try and blame one side or the other, they’ve been thrown into a position now where they’re forced to make things up as they go because a protocol has not been put in place for mental health up until this point.”
