In yesterday afternoon’s game against the Suns, Trevor Ariza went down at the beginning with a hamstring injury. The Rockets needed someone to help carry that load the rest of the game and Gerald Green stepped up and provided 8 points, including 2 makes from deep.
Green will need to continue this mentality and help the offense of the Rockets even more. Today, it was announced by Jonathan Feigen that Ariza will be out at least a week.
Losing Ariza is yet another injury in the midst of an unfortunate season for Houston in that regard.
