What the Trevor Ariza injury means for the Rockets

With yet another injury to a main rotation member, how do the Rockets replace Trevor Ariza in the lineup?

Just as the Houston Rockets were finally progressing to full health after the recent return of big man Donatas Motiejunas to the floor, the ever present injury-bug once again returned to cast it's shadow over the team.

Whether through hex (Lil B? Please. This injury thing has been going on a lot longer than Lil B's been relevant) or just unmitigated bad luck, the Rockets are once again faced with the prospect of playing without one of their key rotation members, as starting small forward Trevor Ariza went down with a back injury in last night's 110-105 loss to the New Jersey Nets.
