The Houston Rockets have had a rough year. The franchise has tied their record for consecutive losses and could still break it, they traded away possibly the greatest player in their history, and a litany of injuries have derailed any and every attempt to be competitive.
While Christian Wood’s ankle injury was the catalyst for the Rockets’ plunge into the abyss, another injury has only added to the team’s spiral. When David Nwaba suffered a wrist injury in early March it left the Rockets in another quagmire as they balance rebuilding and competing.
