The Houston Rockets finally won a game Sunday night, pummeling the Minnesota Timberwolves, 120-94. It was the team's first game without the services of point guard Aaron Brooks (notes), who was believed to be starting a two-week healing process for a sprained ankle.
But the Houston Chronicle is reporting that Brooks says the recovery period should be at least twice that and could last as long as six weeks.
The player who should be picking up the major minutes to replace Brooks will be Kyle Lowry (notes), who should be returning from a back injury on Wednesday evening.
The injury to Brooks came Saturday against the San Antonio Spurs and he had to be carried to the locker room, the Chronicle reports. Last year's "Most Improved Player" was averaging 16.4 points, 5.4 assists and 2.2 rebounds per game.
