from Fanball http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=fanball-rocketsfrancisinjure&prov=fanball&type=lgns Rockets: Francis injures his back News Guard Steve Francis played only 29 minutes in Wednesday's game due to tightness in his lower back, the Associated Press reported. Francis scored only five points. He is considered day-to-day. Views We hope to have a better update on Francis before Friday's game with Dallas. Keep him in your lineup for now.
That would explain his horrid play against the Lakers as well. Hopefully this doesnt dramatically affect his play for a substained period of time.
