Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni was released from Memorial-Hermann hospital on Tuesday after a last series of tests showed enough improvement from the intestinal virus that had him hospitalized since Friday.
D'Antoni, who had become severely dehydrated, had shown marked improvement on Monday, leading to hopes that he would be released.
He had missed the Rockets' games against the Knicks and Suns and a pair of practices and will be out for the Rockets regular-season finale against the Thunder in Oklahoma City on Tuesday. Rockets associate head coach Jeff Bzdelik had filled in running the team in D'Antoni's absence.
