In the team’s final six games of February, rookie guard TyTy Washington averaged 25.9 minutes and made the first two starts of his NBA career as the Houston Rockets navigated Kevin Porter Jr.’s injury absence.
In the first four games of March with Porter back in the lineup, Washington played 15 combined minutes. Most of those came in the fourth quarter of games that were already decided. The Rockets used Daishen Nix or Jae’Sean Tate as the primary ballhandler during any competitive minutes without Porter.
