Rockets' Kevin Porter Jr. likely to miss game vs. Pacers with thigh injury
Just four games after returning following a 20-game absence, Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. is expected to be out Thursday in Indianapolis with another injury.Just four games after Rockets point guard Kevin Porter Jr. returned after missing 20 games with a toe injury, he likely will be out again Thursday in Indianapolis.
Rockets coach Stephen Silas said he doubts Porter will play because of a “thigh issue.” Porter sat out Wednesday’s practice. He seemed to struggle after a collision in Tuesday’s loss to the Nets, making 2 of 11 shots, though he did have seven assists. “It’s unfortunate,” Silas said. “It’s unfortunate that it happened but it’s unfortunate that we’ve been in this situation before.”
Porter had been determined to play through “manageable pain” in his toe for the rest of the season. Silas spoke with Porter for several minutes after practice Wednesday in part to help him deal with the disappointment about going out so soon after he had returned. “We communicate all the time and talk through those moments and … it’s up to me to make sure he’s good and has someone to bounce his feelings off of at times,” Silas said. “It’s not always comfortable conversations but it’s necessary because adversity is hard for everybody, not just basketball players. My position with this group and him specifically is to be someone you can talk to and help you through those moments. It makes me feel good and hopefully it makes him feel good, too.
