PORTLAND, Ore. — Rookie guard TyTy Washington walked into shootaround on Friday morning and saw something he had never seen before in his few short months in the NBA: his name scrawled on the whiteboard as one of the Rockets’ starters.
Green’s injury, suffered in the last game before the All-Star break, coincided with that of guard Kevin Porter Jr., who has been sidelined since Jan. 11 while nursing a hurt big toe. Both were listed as out on the Rockets’ midday injury report forTheir overlapping injuries have left last-place Houston to try and replace the production of two starters. Before his injury, Porter accounted for 17.6 percent of the team’s points and 17.4 percent of shot attempts. For Green, it was 18.
“ and the rest of the guys in the starting group was just telling me, encouraging me to use my voice,” Washington said. “They're gonna listen to me because I'm the point guard. So going into the game, that was my biggest focus on the offensive end: just getting us out in transition, pushing the ball up the court and really just being vocal.”
“We're just learning each other right now, but Jalen and KPJ know me and I know them,” Sengun said. “They know where I'm gonna roll, where I'm gonna be, you know? Daishen and TyTy just need to learn how we’re gonna play each other.”
