Devastating news for VanVleet and the Rockets. Houston is now extremely thin at the guard position.

This is sad for VanVleet. I know of a point guard available right now… and all he has to do is assist and rebound. pic.twitter.com/uBJ5scM6LJ

Fans are upset that VanVleet’s season is over before it started. Still, they remain hopeful that maybe Houston can fill his spot with Russell Westbrook, who is an available free agent.
