I know Steve came back in the game on Sat, but does anyone know if it has stiffened up or have any status on his injury? It seems as like whenever we are about to get someone back healthy someone else goes out with an injury. I bet that is the reason why Rudy hasn't been playing Hakeem as much. If we make it to the playoffs I think we see Hakeem in the 4th more often. ------------------ Rockets Season Ticket Holder

are you sure it wasn't one of the lines on the court that set that pick? i mean steve got juked somethin' fierce. ------------------
According to the Chronicle, it was a mild sprain. They had the day off on Sunday and Steve expected to get treatment for it then and practice today (Monday). He said that an ankle sprain would definitely not keep him out of a game. Interestingly enough, Keith Jones, the Rockets trainer, said that Steve is "really tough" and has played with lots of problems and pain before so this ankle should not be a big deal for him. ------------------ The way to use life is to do nothing through acting, The way to use life is to do everything through being. - Lao-Tzu
Thank goodness we've had a couple of days off for his ankle to recover slightly! It's a good thing that he's tough, but I'd rather he didn't play if it's really bad - wouldn't want him to cause any permanent damage there!! ------------------
He better be up and running...I have a ticket tonight...be the first time i've seen a non-exhibition game live in 5 years. ------------------ "It was a woman that drove me to drink, I never got around to thanking her" W.C Fields
