Texas A&M standout Danuel House made waves in the NBA bubble for his stark improvement, securing legitimate playoff minutes during a series of intense games against Oklahoma City and the Los Angeles Lakers.
But a mysterious late scratch from game 3 raised eyebrows… and today he found himself in the news for all the wrong reasons.

As always, the memes exploded in the immediate aftermath of this news.
We’ll have to see how this plays out, but even the most generous of interpretations would classify this as an avoidable mistake. When you’ve finally secured an NBA foothold and your play is making waves during the restart… you can’t put yourself in this position. Regardless of what happened.
Hopefully, this is all a big misunderstanding.
