After winning only once since guard Steve Francis went on the injured list Nov 28th, are things about to change for the Houston Rockets?  Maybe so, if you consider the fact that Rockets team physician Walter Lowe has cleared the super-athletic guard to play against the Warriors on Friday night.

"Everything looks good for Friday," Lowe said. "We're planning on bringing him back for limited minutes, 10 to 15 minutes. He'll practice on Saturday and then we should be rolling."
