"Rockets rookie forward Marcus Morris is working out in Houston during his NBA Development League assignment since spraining his ankle in his fourth game with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers.

He said he hopes to return to the Rockets when he is healthy, but general manager Daryl Morey said no decision will be made about Morris' return.

"They haven't told me anything yet," Morris said. "Hopefully I'll stay here. I feel like I've done my part down there. They might still want me to play because I was out.

"I'm getting better. Hopefully in a week or so I'll be 100 percent. Things like that happened. It was disappointing because I felt I was on a good streak. I was playing real well. Rebounding real well.""
