George H.W. Bush Is More Concerned With The Rockets Than His Own Health

Former President George H.W. Bush was hospitalized earlier in the week, but he's not letting that stop him from worrying about the Rockets in Wednesday's Game 5.

Jim McGrath, spokesman for the former president, tweeted out a statement on Wednesday saying that Bush, 93, was moved from the intensive care unit to a regular room.

"President Bush naturally thanks everyone for their prayers and good wishes," McGrath tweeted. "He also wants to assure everyone that, as good as he feels now, he is more focused on the Houston Rockets closing out their playoff series against the Minnesota Timberwolves than anything that landed him in the hospital.
