Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports that, though Walt Williams is now eligible to come off the injured list, he will probably remain there until after the All-Star Game. Williams badly sprained his ankle. The Rockets first game after the break is February 12th, against the Grizzlies, but they don't play again until the 16th, so the Rockets may opt to have him miss that game as well.
Fortunately, Kelvin Cato has been on a tear recently to make up some for the loss of Williams and Kenny Thomas' 3-game suspension. Cato has had five double-doubles over the past six games.
