Fred VanVleet will miss at least four games with a strained left adductor (the muscles between the hip and knee), Rockets coach Ime Udoka said Tuesday before Houston’s game against the Pacers. VanVleet could return in time for the Rockets’ final game before All-Star break, next Wednesday in Memphis.

For those of us who have covered the team for a while, this trip has been … a trip. Have caught up with DeMar DeRozan, Fred VanVleet and Jonas Valanciunas.
It ends on Wednesday in Charlotte, where Kyle Lowry’s $30 million cap hit is expected to chat with Toronto media. – 7:59 PM

Rockets guard Fred VanVleet is out tomorrow in Indianapolis with a left adductor strain. He struggled in Minneapolis last night, getting just one assist, his first game this season with more turnovers (2) than assists. – 5:36 PM

Amen Thompson checks in for Jalen Green when he normally replaces Fred VanVleet. Green is 2 of 13. He is 0 for 4 on 3s, but also missing on drives, often seeming to hurry before they can be blocked. Wolves have eight blocked shots. – 8:42 PM

Rockets wanted to play with pace. Instead, shooting in final seconds of shot clock on most possessions since a VanVleet 3 in the first minute. They’ve made 1 of past seven shots. Wolves on 18-5 run. – 7:23 PM
