Christian Wood Rolls Ankle, Leaves Houston Rockets vs Memphis Grizzlies In Wheelchair In Second Half

Houston Rockets star Christian Wood, who is receiving All-Star consideration this season, left Thursday’s game at Memphis after rolling the same right ankle that caused him to miss three games in January. .In 20 minutes against the Grizzlies, Wood had 17 points (70% FG) and 7 rebounds as Houston raced out to a 21-point lead at the time of his departure. For the 2020-21 season, Wood entered Thursday averaging 22.3 points (55.3% FG) and 10.4 rebounds in 31.9 minutes per game, including 39.7% on 3-pointers. Wood’s injury comes at an awful time for the surging Rockets (10-10), who entered Thursday with wins in six of their last seven games. Houston’s next game comes Saturday at home against the San Antonio Spurs. Considering that Wood was wheeled off, and that it appeared to be a reaggravation of a previous injury, it would be a surprise if he can return quickly. “I don’t know,” Silas said postgame. “It didn’t look great.” “It was difficult for me,” he added. “I had to sit down and collect my thoughts and gather myself. As good as he has been playing, a breakout season, and doing everything we need him to do. … Yeah, it sucks.” ESPN’s Tim MacMahon reports that Wood will undergo an MRI on Friday to determine the severity, as well as a potential timetable to return. So, what do you guys think? Will Wood return sooner rather than later?
