Four games after returning from a seven-week injury absence, starting point guard Kevin Porter Jr. again appears set to miss time for the Houston Rockets. This time, the absence shouldn’t be as long.
Porter is listed as out for Thursday’s road game at Indiana due to what the team is calling a left thigh contusion. Porter appeared to suffer the injury during a collision in Tuesday’s home loss to Brooklyn, and his timetable beyond Thursday’s absence is unclear.
