    I've heard bits and pieces but haven't seen this posted, for those wondering why he's out for a couple of games, really sad news.

    According to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, a deputy pulled the drunk driver over for speeding shortly before the crash. The driver apparently didn’t appear impaired so he was let go again, only to kill an entire family minutes later.

    Was it a cop?

    That's just beyond Awful. Prayers go out to him. There are things bigger than basketball. I wouldn't blame him if he sat out the rest of the season.

    wow...absolutely horrible and devastating...RIP to the 4 victims, and I hope House gets through this ok

    How do u proceed to go 115 mph after just getting stopped by the cops? People who choose to drive while intoxicated are scum. U have Uber. U have Lyft. Hell, ask a friend to give u a ride. Throw this garbage underneath the jail.

    Wow, I heard about this story as it happened in Spring, and thought it was tragic, had no idea they were relative of House.

    This is both horrific and tragic.

    My heart goes out to Danuel, his brother and entire family.

    This is beyond basketball.
