Yeah, no. His big dunks energize the team and hurt the other team. Thats why dunks, especially emphatic ones, are important.
You should be even more relieved since chron says his bruise is on his left knee. I'm pretty sure he had his prior injury/surgery on his right knee. On the other hand, tonight he did have the knee wrap/brace on that right knee, which kinda worries me.
If he is still wearing it a week from now I will begin to panic right now its a little annoying scratch at a spot I can't reach.
Well, looks like he won't be playing tonight: <hr> http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/bk/bkn/5603689.html March 8, 2008, 11:35AM Rockets sign Rice product Harris, release Green Forward signed for depth with Landry injured By JONATHAN FEIGEN Copyright 2008 Houston Chronicle With surging rookie forward Carl Landy out for tonight’s game against the New Orleans Hornets, the Rockets moved quickly to shore up the thinning ranks of their frontcourt. The Rockets signed former Rice forward and fan favorite Mike Harris, who impressed in training camp this season, to a 10-day contract, releasing guard Gerald Green to make room on the roster for Harris. Landry has developed swelling in his left knee and will be evaluated further. He bruised the knee against Indiana on Wednesday, but played the next night in Dallas with little difficulty. “We’re making this move because of concern about tonight,” Rockets vice president of basketball operations Sam Hinkie said. “We’re making this move because Mike Harris is someone we’ve always liked. We need live bodies, and he’s more than just a live body.” The Rockets also signed center Justin Williams to a 10-day contract on Friday. But without Landry – who has averaged 13.8 points on 68.4 percent shooting since Yao Ming went out for the season – the Rockets could be very short-handed in frontcourt scoring, with only Luis Scola considered a scoring option at the power forward or center positions. “(Harris) is a guy we’ve liked for a long time,” Hinkie said. “We thought played very well for us. He brings a level of energy, toughness and athleticism and we like his rebounding. Our coaches always liked him and are very positive on him, as well as was the staff on basketball ops side. We targeted him, as someone that we if needed help, he’d be on the top of the list.” <hr>
In other words: "We'll get to getting around to getting that X-Ray on Carl's knee in about, oh, a month or two."
