    Will miss the last game of the season and be re evaluated before playoffs start.

    Rockets Medical Update

    HOUSTON – Houston Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey announced today that guard Russell Westbrook underwent an MRI in Orlando for a quadriceps injury. The results revealed a strained quadriceps muscle in his right leg. Westbrook will be out for Friday’s game against Philadelphia and his status will be re-evaluated before the playoffs start next week.

    Im not sure anyone can get to 100% after a Quad injury without taking significant time off.

    Karma? Mr Morey liked CP3 more than Russ, Harden and Tily wanted Russ.

    Internet says a grade 1 quad strain takes 1-2 weeks to recover.

    This was a TF trade. Morey tried to make the best of it afterwards. This is concerning.

    I think he will be fine. It is Wednesday. Perhaps come back the 3rd or 4th game of playoffs. Hopefully the Rockets would be 3-1 or 2-2 and go from there.

    He won’t. The playoffs start Monday. Best case scenario is he’s able to join at some point of the series
