Houston Rockets star center Christian Wood has a right ankle sprain, an MRI on Friday showed, and he will be reevaluated on a weekly basis, general manager Rafael Stone said.
Wood rolled the ankle during the third quarter of Thursday's 115-103 win over the Memphis Grizzlies.
The Rockets had expressed worry about the injury after the game, with coach Stephen Silas saying: "It didn't look great. It was unfortunate."
Wood, who has emerged as an All-Star candidate by averaging 22.0 points and 10.2 rebounds per game in his first season with the Rockets, missed three games after spraining his right ankle on Jan.
