Breaking: The superstar point guard for the Rockets has formally requested to have his contract terminated because of a dispute with his manager. However.

Coach Ime Udoka may have reached his breaking point Wednesday night. The Houston Rockets sustained arguably their worst loss of the season in a 121-113 defeat to the Memphis Grizzlies.

A victory for the Grizzlies broke a nine-game losing streak, while the Rockets fell to 5-21 on the road. After a win over the New York Knicks Monday night, Houston hasn’t won back-to-back games since early January.

“It has been that way for a while now, maybe underestimating the competition,” coach Ime Udoka said. “We came out like the softest team in the league.”

The Rockets are entering the All-Star break six games under .500 with a 24-30 record. They are 12th in the Western Conference Western Conference and trail the Golden State Warriors and Utah Jazz for the 10th and final spot for the Play-In Tournament. They are also 5-21 on the road.

Udoka vowed to find a solution to Houston’s struggles with 28 games left in the season, and the result could lead to significant changes.

“It’s definitely a concerning problem,” Udoka said. “Maybe I have to look at the rotation and the lineup I have out there starting and try to get five

competitors out there at one time to avoid poor starts like that. I will look at all of that over the break. Look in the mirror at myself and figure out the best way forward to get us off to better starts.”
