Rockets' Luc Mbah a Moute (shoulder) wouldn't rule out Round 1 return
Houston Rockets forward Luc Mbah a Moute said he won't rule out returning in Round 1 of the playoffs.
Mbah a Moute said, "I wouldn’t say 'no.' But I also want to be smart and do the right thing." He added that his dislocated shoulder is now feeling better and that he's going to see what happens after rehab. He seems to be day-to-day, but it would be unlikely for Houston to bring him back too soon. With the chance that they sweep, up 2-0 over Minnesota, they will probably stick with P.J. Tucker, Trevor Ariza and Gerald Green at the forward spots.
In 61 regular season games, Mbah a Moute averaged 7.5 points and 3.0 rebounds per game. He ranked sixth on the team with 2.1 defensive win shares.
