In the midst of the Houston Rockets 133-84 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, a dunk attempt left David Nwaba with an injured wrist. The injury sidelined Nwaba for three consecutive games — the first of an expected six-week hiatus. But as he sat on the sideline of the Golden 1 Center watching his teammates suffer their 14th consecutive loss on Thursday, Nwaba made up in his mind that he would do everything possible to make an inspirational return to the Rockets’ lineup despite his injury.
He said it was tough watching his teammates compete short-handed.
