Houston’s first four games are as follows:
Friday, July 12
Houston Rockets vs. Los Angeles Lakers; 6:30 p.m. Central (ESPN)
Sunday, July 14
Houston Rockets vs. Washington Wizards; 5:00 p.m. Central (ESPN2)

Thursday, July 18

As a reminder, Cam Whitmore won Summer League MVP last season and will be back at it again this year, so we’ll be looking for a repeat performance and also to get a feel for how Reed Sheppard might fit in.
