Report: Rockets hoping Dwight Howard will be cleared to play all back-to-back games
Houston Rockets center Dwight Howard has been limited to start the season, sitting out multiple back-to-back games so far this year.
While that isn't the only factor to Houston's poor start, not having Howard in the lineup at all times hasn't been easy on the chemistry for the rest of the team.
The Rockets, however, are hoping that Howard will be medically cleared soon to play all back-to-back games.
Here's more from Kurt Helin of ProBasketballTalk:
"Howard hasn’t played in one-half of every back-to-back the Rockets have had this season as they try to keep him healthy following all the back problems he had last season. But the struggling Rockets are going to reconsider that policy, reports Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle.
The plan was always to have Howard start playing back-to-backs at some point during the season, but the ugly start to the season apparently has upped the timeline. Which isn’t the worst idea, but like swapping Bickerstaff for McHale, it’s not enough on its own. Houston has a lot of things that need to improve for them to turn the season around."
