Here's another take: Houston Chronicle: Rockets summary Good news In a rare twist of late, a Rockets player went down with an injury and feared the worst but received the best news possible. Glen Rice, who was originally listed as doubtful to play tonight, was changed to questionable before Tuesday's practice and then was listed as a probable starter by the team as it headed to Indianapolis. "It was great news," said Rice, who landed awkwardly on his knee knee in practice Monday and underwent an MRI exam. "Once they tell you `you just broke up a little scar tissue,' it is such a relief. I didn't want to miss one or two more days. I'm trying not to miss a couple days." Rice will test his knee at today's shootaround. "It will mean a lot to be out there if it is feeling good," he said. "If it's not up to par, it's a matter of being smart." Either way, it beats what was going through his mind after hurting his knee Monday. "I was thinking, `Man, it's going to be another nightmare,' " Rice said. "Strange things go through, like, `Wow, maybe this is it.' Once I got the news everything was fine, it was a big, big relief."
