Beijing time on March 18 news, according to the US media Adam Spolane, rocket tough general Usman Garruba suffered from an ankle sprain injury, which also made him enter the rocket injury list and miss the next game.
Garruba has missed most of the Rockets' games this season due to quadriceps contusions, wrist surgery and current ankle injuries:
Houston Chronicle reporter Jonathan Fagan also revealed some details of Garruba's injury:
"Rockets rookie Usman Garruba has suffered from various injuries throughout the season, he sprained his left ankle in three-on-three training after two games back, and he will not play in the Rockets vs. Pacers game."
However, the Rockets still plan to let Garupa play for the Vipers of the Development League after recovery and get some playing time:
So far this season, Garupa has only played 16 games for the Rockets, averaging 1.4 points and 2.3 rebounds in seven minutes per game.
On the other hand, according to Houston Chronicle reporter Jonathan Fagan, rocket veteran guard Eric Gordon's injury situation has been updated:
According to Jonathan Fagan, Eric Gordon was listed in the Rockets' upcoming game against the Pacers, and Eric Gordon has missed several games for the Rockets due to injury problems with tendonitis in his right knee.
Finally, in an article, the US media Brett Siegel suggested that the Rockets could promote a deal involving Eric Gordon with the Hawks this offseason:
The Hawks get: Eric Gordon
Rockets get: Danilo Gallinari, 2023 first-round picks (lotto protection)
This is still a very good trade option for the Rockets, after all, getting Gallinari and future first-round picks is indeed an ideal reward for the Rockets in the rebuilding phase.
