The Rockets are still a team in the rebuilding phase, but every game they play will be worth looking forward to, especially against a team like the Lakers. The Rockets will usher in an away game against the Lakers on January 17, Beijing time, but both sides are facing some injuries before this game.
According to “Houston Chronicle” reporter Jonathan Fegan, Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. will continue to miss the team’s games:
“Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr., who has missed the past two games with a left foot injury, will continue to miss the Lakers, having played just the first 10 minutes of the Rockets’ past four road trips. ”
Little Kevin Porter is still a very important part of the current Rockets, but after his absence, other young players in the Rockets will also get more opportunities to perform.
On the other hand, the Lakers are also facing serious injury problems. According to US media Adam Spolane, Lakers superstar LeBron James is listed as doubtful due to a sore left foot injury. In addition, Patrick Beverley also missed the previous game due to a non-new crown disease , but he did not appear in the Lakers’ injury report:
If Beverly can play in this game, this will be the first time that Rockets rookie Jaylen Green will face the former Rockets backcourt defender. For Jaylen Green, there is no doubt that it is a very worthwhile challenge .
The last thing that needs to be mentioned is that the Rockets media released on social media four years ago when James Harden played for the Rockets against the Nets, he scored 58 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists and hit 5 three-pointers:
As we all know, Harden was a harvester of top statistics when he played for the Rockets, which was also one of the most glorious periods in the history of the Rockets.
