Dwight Howard’s lingering knee issue could be the difference between a Rockets championship run and a first round exit.
Yahoo’s Adrian Wojnarowski is reporting that the three-time Defensive Player of the Year could miss significant time due to a knee injury.
Sources: Dwight Howard will get second opinion on his knee, could miss extended time. Likely eliminates Howard as All-Star sub for Kobe.

The Rockets are currently in a three-way tie with the Clippers and Blazers for the third-best record in the Western Conference. Losing four or five games out west comparable to losing 10-15 straight in the east.
