This was yesterday. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Working hard, trying to get back as soon as possible <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Rockets?src=hash">#Rockets</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/RedNation?src=hash">#RedNation</a> <a href="http://t.co/s8MaqQAtoJ">pic.twitter.com/s8MaqQAtoJ</a></p>— Donatas Motiejunas (@DonatasMot) <a href="https://twitter.com/DonatasMot/status/585501534886219776">April 7, 2015</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> How can it be possible? Did he rush and hurt again?
WTF happened to his back??? He was playing one game with no obvious, visible issues and all of a sudden he's taken out for back issues/rest. Now he is gone for the season? Was this lingering all along and the Rox and/or Dmo was keeping it hush-hush? What's going on?!
Let's pray that's what it really is. The Rockets have been acting like D-Mo was about to return any day now. I could see him not making it back in time for the rest of the regular season since it ends a week from today. But the playoffs as well?! That would mean his back injury is bad enough that he could be out for over 4-6 weeks(on top of the nearly 2 weeks he's already missed) if the Rockets were to get out of the first round.
Classic Rockets sigh. Joey Dorsey playing rotational playoff minutes scares me. Huge blow, first PBev now DMo.
