Rockets center Christian Wood missed in-team rocket training due to migraines, the second time in the past three days that Wood has missed training due to headaches.
"Migraines don't prevent me from playing," Wood said after missing his last shooting session and being able to play Saturday for the Rockets.
"It's hard to predict," Rockets coach Stephen Silas said of whether Wood will play against the Warriors next, "I spoke to him and he said he felt better, but you know things are going to change, so it's hard to have a clear decision right now." ”
Wood is the Rockets' most important scorer and rebounder of the season, having had 21 points and 15 rebounds in his last game against the Trail Blazers and has picked up at least 14 rebounds in four of his last five games.
Rocket guard Kevin Porter Jr., on the other hand, has been promoted to a state of doubt due to illness, and Porter Jr. has missed the Rockets' last game against the Blazers due to health and safety agreements:
Kevin Porter Jr. is the core of the Rockets' backcourt, and whether he can stay healthy is also an important factor in whether the Rockets can play better.
Finally, it should be mentioned that the Rockets have had a lot of success during the Harden era from 2012 to 2021, especially after the arrival of Chris Paul, which can be said to be the Rockets' closest to the championship era in recent years.
As one of the rocket's heroes of the era, Gerald Green said in an interview that if it were not for Paul's injury problems, they would have won the championship trophy in 2018:
'If Chris Paul wasn't injured, we could have taken a championship ring and we'd beat them (LeBron – these three and the Cavaliers), we're the better team, we're ready, we can easily beat the Cavaliers, we're special.'
There's nothing wrong with Green's statement, after all, the Rockets are already leading the Warriors with Durant, Curry, Thompson and Green 3-2 when Paul is healthy, which is why they have better competitive players while Paul is healthy.
