You never see the AD thread or the Giannis thread on the front page unless there’s an injury. Same with Jokic this season, but you would in years prior because of his slow starts. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Them beasting is expected and isn't remarked upon. Only if they get hurt do their threads get bumped. How long is Wood expected to be out? Will he be back next week or is this going to linger?

m1dday 300 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 (edited) We really can't tell how swollen his ankle is or what grade the sprain is so we'll just have to wait for word on severity for now. Could just be precautionary rest, or could be a Sexton situation. Rockets don't play again until Tuesday so let's hope he'll be back then. Also - no word on a MRI, for now.

mcflywalker 1,119 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Out tonight. I was under the impression this was a minor back-to-back rest issue, but anyone find any indication he might be out going into the next week? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dfstout 2,153 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 The way it seems, if he was going to miss yesterday, he was going to miss today but my guess fwiw is he is back Tuesday vs the Wiz... He was pretty adamant about playing...think it was just unlucky timing with the back to back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It would've been a sign already that he didn't travel with the team for the b2b to be a no go. Tuesday seems to be the day he'll be back, but let's see. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ace_King 600 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 "Doubtful" for Tuesday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mcflywalker 1,119 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 He didn’t attend practice for a personal reason. I’m hoping that’s why the team gave him the doubtful designation and not due to ongoing rehab. Still holding out hope he’ll play Tuesday after going through shoot around. Anybody remember a Doubtful player ending up playing in a recent game? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nica4two 239 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I think Wood is faking all of it and is giving Cousins just enough run so all his fantasy owners can sell high for a top 50 player. And as an owner of both Wood and Cousins, I find his actions both commendable and downright classy. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DoctorLove 312 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 (edited) Any concerns that Cousins is going to start cutting into Wood's playing time? He's been crushing and the Rockets have won three straight... Getting a little nervous if I'm being honest. Edited January 27 by DoctorLove Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They literally traded for this guy, you dont just say hey we are limiting your minutes right after people said he was the next all star of the season Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ace_King 600 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 (edited) Good news: Wood says he will return on Thursday. Silas said Cousins has earned more playing time. Coach BS? If it is real, would it be at the expense of Wood or could they play together? Edited January 27 by Ace_King Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can see them playing together for sure. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DoctorLove 312 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 So, uhhhh.... Demarcus got more time than Wood in this first quarter and is vastly outplaying him.... Are we getting into a dreaded timeshare? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
