Glen Rice has reported significant progress in the rehabilitation of his knee after surgery, writes Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle.  He will meet with team physician Walter Lowe today.  He rejoined the team just in time to witness a 39-point slaughter at the hands of the Bucks.

Also: you've heard that promising youngsters Tim Thomas of the Bucks and Eddie Griffin of the Rockets were cousins, right?  Well, apparently they're not, though it is a rumor that has circulated for years.
