Rockets Cam Whitmore back just in time before brutal stretch

Each of the next six games for the Houston Rockets comes against a current playoff team, a scary sight for Ime Udoka's crew as they push to catch the Golden State Warriors for the final Western Conference playoff spot. But Udoka will have a key member of his rotation returning Sunday night to kickstart the critical stretch.

Udoka said Sunday afternoon that Houston rookie and standout scorer Cam Whitmore will be active for Sunday's contest against the Dallas Mavericks. Whitmore missed each of the last nine games due to a sprained knee, though he looked realtively ready for live action during pregame warmups and practice sessions in recent days.
