Rockets on the mend

Yesterday the Rockets suffered a few injuries in game, All Star James Harden was able to return to the game but newly minted starter Patrick Beverley did not return to the game after only 10 minutes of game time. Yesterday they were able to best the lowly Bobcats, and today during practice neither Harden nor Beverley practiced, both sitting out with injuries they got yesterday.

Harden missed due to the sore back and Beverley missed due to his bruised ribs. Both players are listed as day to day and while it's not serious injuries IMO it's best both players rest till they are completely healthy no need to force these guys to start with the depth they have on the team.

Backing up Patrick Beverley, is last years starter Jeremy Lin and old Rockets starter Aaron Brooks, now the depth behind James Harden is iffy with Francisco Garcia and Ronnie Brewer but you can live with those 2 for a game or two rather then push Harden and ride with the two for much longer.

Rockets play the Dallas Mavericks on Friday at Toyota Center.
