According to
The Launch Pad Podcast posted 13 hours ago (I don't have more recent news - I haven't read any of the thread):
1. The only evidence the league had, by their own admission, was that House's door opened at the same time the woman entered the hotel. That's it. The NBA said it
may have happened.
2. A Twitter personality ("@cuffslegend," I think) who has consistently broken stories related to LeBron and is believed to have a personal relationship with LeBron posted a tweet saying something like, "lol, Daniel [sic] House should know better than that" around the same time that the Rockets' coaches were informed by the league that House would be unavailable for Game 3 - several hours before any journalist broke the story. The implication is that LeBron knew before the Rockets' coaches did.
3. The NBA said that several times throughout the bubble, people have called the "snitch hotline" (which is how the NBA learned of the alleged incident) on the Rockets, but the NBA repeatedly believed the allegations to be unfounded. This was the first time the NBA took action on an allegation, in spite of the tenuous, circumstantial evidence.
4. The NBA has done an atrocious job of releasing information about the story, especially in light of the fact that House has a wife and children who may be in school.

None of this is from me. It's just what I'm hearing on this podcast. I don't know how or if the story has changed since the pod was posted, but it certainly seems like a bad look all around for the league.
