NBA Rumors: The Only 'Untouchable' Player for the Rockets
Houston is delighted with Amen Thompson's explosion, and they consider him the most essential piece of the team
The 2025 NBA Playoffs are not over yet for the Houston Rockets. The Texas team fell 3-2 behind in Game 5 after a blowout win over the Golden State Warriors. The comeback dream is still alive thanks, among others, to the performance of Amen Thompson.
The defensive specialist for the Rockets contributed with 5 steals (all in the first half), along with 25 points and 6 rebounds. Thompson's explosion has been incredible since the start of the season, making him the untouchable player for Houston right now.
At least that's what Tim MacMahon from NBA Rumors at ESPN is suggesting: "The Rockets have informed rival offices that Amen Thompson is untouchable in any trade discussions."
Houston Rockets, for now, is rallying to achieve the miracle comeback. They are just 2 victories away from reaching the Conference Semifinals where Minnesota Timberwolves already await, having eliminated the Los Angeles Lakers.
