The Rockets can’t get healthy when it matters.
Beverley suffered what the Rockets diagnosed as a left wrist sprain during the third quarter of Monday night’s win against the Indiana Pacers, and could miss the remainder of the season according to Yahoo Sports.
The 6-foot-1, 185-pounder went to Houston on Tuesday to have his left wrist evaluated and was ruled out for Wednesday’s road game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Sources said team doctors are expected to reveal Wednesday morning whether Beverley could postpone the surgery to the offseason without risking further ligament damage or needs a season-ending procedure now.
Beverley is averaging 10.1 points and 3.4 assists this season, but is known more for his defensive prowess. The Rockets are expected to get Dwight Howard back on Wednesday.
