After missing the game against Seattle with plantar fasciaitis and returning for the game against the Clippers, Steve Francis may again be out for the Rockets' game against the visiting Kings, according to Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle.  Francis came out of the Clippers game at the end of the third period and did not return.

"I popped something in my foot, and it got really hot," Francis said. "I just ran off the court. I'll go to the doctor (today)."
