Makes return Sunday Garuba (wrist) played seven minutes off the bench in Sunday's 130-105 loss to the Pelicans, finishing with three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt), three rebounds, one steal and one block. Impact Though Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reported Thursday that Garuba would be re-evaluated this week for a potential return to the lineup, the rookie big man made a surprise return off the bench during garbage time of Sunday's contest. Garuba produced well during his limited minutes, and with the Rockets firmly out of contention as the season winds down, it's possible the 20-year-old first-round pick gets a longer look. Before making his return from a seven-week absence due to a fractured left wrist, Garuba had made only 14 appearances on the season for Houston, averaging 1.4 points, 2.4 rebounds and 0.6 assists in 7.3 minutes.
