From nba.com Taylor Out For Season Sept., 5, 2001 - Houston Rockets forward Maurice Taylor underwent successful surgery today to repair a torn right Achilles tendon. Rockets general manager Carroll Dawson said Taylor is expected to be out of action 10-12 months, which means he will miss the entire 2001-2002 season.
and this from that old reliable source - bskball.com ...word has it the Rockets are talking with Anthony Mason's agent late yesterday. Details and a direction for replacing him has not been determined.
