The Houston Rockets come in to the 2015-16 regular season as one of the favorites to come out the Western Conference.
To do this they will count on superstar center Dwight Howard, that is if he’s healthy.
ESPN’s Calvin Watkins covers the Rockets and tweeted this on Howard’s injury.

If you the words cautious and concern in the same sentence, then this might be another injury setback for Howard.
Howard came on strong once in again the playoffs, but missed a great chunk of the regular season leaving 2015 NBA MVP runner-up James Harden to do most of the heavy lifting.
Hopefully for the Rockets’ sake, this is just a hiccup in getting Howard ready to go for the season opener.
