It's almost Christmas and Dorian Finney-Smith has yet to make his regular season debut as a member of the Houston Rockets. The Los Angeles Lakers will have their first matchup against the Rockets on Dec. 25 with their former forward nowhere in sight.
Matt Young of The Houston Chronicle wrote in early December about there being progress on Finney-Smith's injury. However, the target date for his return is still a bit away. The Lakers are unlikely to see their former role player on Christmas, barring a miracle.
“Dorian is improving,” the Rockets coach told Young.
