    The question is can he do that?
    If he cannot......his use on the Rockets is very limited.

    Probably going the way of Tracy McGrady post-knee surgery.

    Well, if it's of any consolation, we have two more seasons after this one with him which will both probably be tank years.

    you gonna ignore harden being a beyotch, house being a dumbass, and the covid haircuts?!? You act like Silas after one month of roster turmoil is as incompetent as MDT was for over his entire career.

    Could it be The Rockets are holding Wall back because they are in tank mode and want Wall to take as much time as possible for getting healthy? Perhaps they know Wall will be here long term, they rather play VO who was already told he will be delt but need him to play well and get his numbers up. Putting Wall in with VO could drop VO's numbers which will be inflated right now due to the roster. They just don't need Wall at the moment, it brings down VO trade value and makes it harder to lose.

    I think the post was sarcasm...at least I hope it was. Everyone knows the situation Silas has been in to start his coaching career with MANY hurdles.

    He has averaged 32 games played per season over the past 3 years. To expect him to be healthy is an unreasonable expectation.

    (Paraphrasing) We’re probably being over cautious...making sure he plays the right amount of minutes.

    Sure, that's why the post was asking if anyone knew further injury details, not about expecting him to be generally healthy.

    I'm willing to give Silas the benefit of the doubt. However, if Wall isn't back against Washington, I may start sharpening my pitchfork.

    "Overly cautious" means "top 4 seed, we keep".

    Need to trade Wall for a younger pass-first PG with some 3pt shooting.
