The Houston Rockets are bracing for the loss of Dwight Howard for at least a month due to persistent trouble with his right knee, according to league sources.
The Rockets, while confident that Howard ?has enough time to bounce back for the regular-season stretch run and playoffs, fear their defensive anchor will be lost for a period of "weeks" as opposed to days.
Howard is still in the process of getting additional consultation from various doctors to determine the best treatment course for the knee.
