[IKO] Amen Thompson to undergo MRI. Left arena in walking boot and crutches.

This was best case scenario. If he misses 2 weeks, 5 of those 7 games are the remainder of this homestand which are all winnable even without Amen. And the mini road trip will be against the Magic and Heat, both of whom are struggling lately. Plus there's only one B2B in this stretch, so Tari and Steven will be available in 6 of the 7 games.

Amen should be back no later than when Denver comes to town and that's gonna be a pivotal game assuming the Rockets hold their own during this homestand.

 

Can they call up a point guard from the Vipers?

 

So, in Houston terms 3 months.

Great...

 

I remember thinking he would be back then it turned into a life lesson.

 

He got a nice bicep for a PG.

 

If we get out of this with Thompson only missing 2 weeks it could be a good thing long term.

The schedule is soft enough to survive, Thompson needs some rest and hopefully Udoka learns his lesson about leaving players in when they have no business being out there.

 

Is Pablo Prigioni still playing somewhere?

 

Everybody stay positive. This is why you should have a deep team. Fortunately we have enough guys to hold the fort down. Guys just have to step up.

 

Relieved to hear the news.

 

If it's 7 - 14 days then it must have been a grade 1. If it's a grade 2 there's no way he's coming back that fast unless he's superhuman. Good news overall.

 

One of the most underrated Rockets of all time.

 

He's coaching, I remember seeing his handsome mug prowling the sidelines somewhere

 

I thought it was Toronto but Google says Minnesota. I saw him too.

 

Say hello to my gigantic friend

 

That dude's like 4'10" tall and makes Reed Sheppard look like a giant.

 

Sources say 2 weeks.

Amen reminds me of the people that have the ability to heal significantly faster than most other people. Remember when LeBron's doctors said they'd never seen anyone heal that fast? Assuming it wasn't PEDs of course.

It still sucks, but I was prepared for the worst. Warm up the Whitmore.

 

Yeah. WAY down.

 

Best case news here. Good.

 

Amen Thompson is out for up to Two Weeks
