Houston Rockets owner Leslie Alexander will now donate $10 million to the Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund started by Houston mayor Sylvester Turner, an increase over the $4 million he pledged Monday, according to multiple reports
According to the Houston Chronicle, Alexander has told the mayor about the increased contribution, but the team will not put out a statement on the matter because Alexander does not want the additional donation to bring attention to himself.

I always wonder who is reporting this stuff when the parties involved don't want to say anything.

In fairness, he isn't wearing Rockets gear and the other fellow is. It could be confusing.

He also has a house in the Galleria area in Houston where he lives during the basketball season (he attends almost every home game), a penthouse in New York, a place in the Hamptons, and a house in La Jolla, CA.

He's kinda rich and lots of rich people have multiple residences.

It's not basketball season. My point was he's rich and not in houston just like someone said about Joel Osteen.

Between me and the Tennessee Titans owner, we donated a little over $1 million to JJ's fund.
