Live broadcast on October 9th news, Fei Gen, a senior Rockets reporter from Houston Chronicle, reported that Shen Jing and Eric Gordon were expected to play the third game against the Heat in the preseason, however, coach Silas is still under the health and safety agreement and is not expected to go to Miami with the team, so he cannot direct the match on the spot.
Silas entered the health and safety agreement at the beginning of this week. He missed the second game between the Rockets and the Raptors. The Rockets will depart for Miami on Sunday local time, and Silas is not expected to accompany the team.
Rockets assistant Lucas led the team to train and compete this week. When talking about Silas, old Lucas said: “I hope Silas can return in time. He is very, very close to recovery now. We will be glad that he is back. I talked to him about six times today, and we will continue to communicate, but I think he is really close to returning.”
In addition, Shen Jing and Eric Gordon, who missed the second preseason match due to toothache and rotation break respectively, are expected to play the third match against the Heat.
As for little Jabari Smith, who had an ankle injury, he took part in the team’s public training on Saturday local time, and his feet were not wearing protective boots. Old Lucas said the rookie was also very close to returning.
The rockets away game against the heat will start at 7:30 Beijing Time on October 11.
