James Ennis out with a hamstring strain

We mentioned yesterday how the injuries woes for the Houston Rockets were one of the factors leading to their slow start, and now we’ve found out today that it’s about to get worse before it gets better.

Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reported that James Ennis will now miss Wednesday’s game against the Utah Jazz with a strained hamstring.

James Ennis is with a strained right hamstring. Nene getting an MRI on his strained calf. He and Chriss questionable.

With Brandon Knight, Nene, and Marquese Chriss already missing time due to injury, and Chris Paul out after a two-game suspension, the Rockets are extremely shorthanded.
