    They say it's a strain, which I believe means a potential muscle or tendon tear (instead of ligament damage, as in a sprain). When you look at the play where he was injured, it wasn’t a twist but rather an overstretch. I believe the recovery time is similar between the two, depending on the severity.

    Ah, good catch, I've been thinking it was a sprain.

    Rockets looking to avenge the last-second heartbreaker in Milwaukee. Bucks are riding a 4-game winning streak (all close games) and the Rockets are in a month-long slump. We've had two days off after the stupid 1-game 2nb2b road trip 1400 miles away, but tonight starts another b2b, so Ima gotta spread the minutes with the bench. It was ridiculous losing to Utah (or any team) while we shot 40% from three. How the hell did we out-rebounded by 17 ?!! Looks like Jabari had his worst game statically of his career.

    Anyways, get the dub !!!

    No DB and no Tate will make a lot of people on this forum happy.

    We owe the Bucks - the loss we had them earlier in the season was ridiculous - one of many games that the Rockets could have easily won. However, if Fred doesn't play, I can't see them winning. Surely we can beat a Wemby less Spurs team the next night but you would think that we could have beaten the Jazz so I don't know what to think or expect any more.:(

    We need this one for a confidence boost.

    But if Fred doesn't play I want to see Reed playing 20 minutes. So much talent wasting away on the bench is frustrating.

    Lol on a back to back in the mountains 47 points in the 4th quarter and fly back to Houston. That was a Corrupt many parts of the schedule.

    Rockets will be motivated in this one.

    What if we don't view it as a back to back but rather a front to front. Let Aussie play for Aquaman tonight. Aquaman tomorrow when we need a volt or three of energy. Same with Eason.

    I think the Prices of Fred VanVleet, Jabari Smith, Tari Eason they're are on Half Off Prices on resigning with the Rockets.

    honestly availability is underrated and Fred misses significant time every year. I continue to insist we don’t extend him for more than $25 mil per, especially coming off a poor year.

    Gonna be tough for Houston tonight. Real bummer. And we need this one to get back on track.

    Hmm. A good battle to be had there. I see Peter's posts mostly in my travels, so I'll go with him. Lol.
