Dwight Howard not close to return
The Rockets’ hope that Dwight Howard could be close to returning from his strained right knee seemed to be fading.
While discussing Pat Beverley’s return from a strained left hamstring, Rockets coach Kevin McHale said “It would be nice to get everybody else back, but that won’t be happening any time soon.”
Asked if he had a better feel for Howard’s timetable, he said again, “He won’t be back anytime soon.”
