Ryan Anderson (illness) expected to return for Rockets' matchup with Golden State
Houston Rockets forward/center Ryan Anderson (illness) participated in shootaround and it appears likely that he will make his return on Friday to take on the Golden State Warriors.
Anderson sat out the past two contests and was limited in the two before that while battling the flu. He should return to the starting lineup without any restrictions on Friday night.
