HOW AWESOME! Fans in the Rio Grande Valley will get to see Zhou Qi in action tonight for the Vipers. He was assigned on Monday by the Houston Rockets.
Zhou Qi is expected to return on Tuesday for practice in Houston, however, the Rockets don’t play until Thursday. Therefore, Zhou Qi may stay in the RGV longer to play against the Austin Spurs on Wednesday.
Moreover, this will give the rookie much needed minutes out on the court. Zhou Qi has not played even 10 minutes in any of his appearances thus far. There is a fair chance that Zhou Qi could be starting tonight for the Vipers which would be very exciting.
