<p>The city of Houston is in great peril as the hurricane continues to cause great damage to the city. Here is the statement the team released earlier today (<a href="https://twitter.com/HoustonRockets/status/902259505223704576" target="_blank" rel="noopener">via Twitter</a>):</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Our hearts are heavy seeing the devastation to many of our friends, family and neighbors are experiencing.

Please stay safe, Houston.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Earlier today, new Rockets point guard <strong>Chris Paul </strong>donated $50,000 to the fund <strong>JJ Watt</strong> of the Texans has started a campaign, which has already raised more than $1 million to help the efforts.</p>
