What is the latest news on Harden's ankle, Lin's back, Asik's thigh or Parson's back? I couldn't find any updates today. Parson looked like he tweaked his back again in game last night. Harden's ankle injury looks like some missed games, but I hope not. Ready for the trades to go through and get back to playing with the team we will have, once everyone gets healthy.
Doesn't sound great. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Rockets could not guess if James Harden will be able to go Wednesday, but he did not walk out of here like guy that will play in a few days.</p>— Jonathan Feigen (@Jonathan_Feigen) <a href="https://twitter.com/Jonathan_Feigen/statuses/412407227547262976">December 16, 2013</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Jeremy Lin remained on his back in training room until last player was heading to bus.

Howard had back trouble. Parsons starts with back spasms. Now Lin has back spasms. What is their strength and conditioning coach doing?
Get well soon everyone. Good thing our next game is Wednesday and will give our guys some recovery time. I hope we don't ever have a game where all 3 of Harden, Lin, & Parsons are out.
He's been playing great as of late. Nothing really for him to nut up or shut up about, in all honesty. He potentially won't have his starting shooting guard, small forward, power forward, and sixth man on Wednesday night. How much can he possibly do?
And yeah, this trend is troubling to say the least. Back spasms are no joke, and the fact that we have multiple players suffering from them could be alarming.
If I were Chicago, my objective would be getting Dwight in foul trouble early. Light work after that.
8 rockets practiced today, No Harden (ankle) Lin (back), jones(flu), parsons (back), Asik (thigh), no Mchale - CSN 12-16-13
Don't forget Beverley. He needs to step up his offensive game. Casspi and Garcia need to get their crap together an start making 3's. Of course if they all fail it falls on Dwight.
