With the Rockets back in Houston, guard Bonzi Wells was back with the team ? but not on the active roster.

Wells did not travel last week and has not played since Feb. 28. He is listed as questionable with a sore right foot, but said last week he was not hurt.

"No status change," coach Jeff Van Gundy said. "It's obviously something I think he's handled exceedingly well. He doesn't like it, nor should he agree with it. But his attitude has been great. ...

"I wasn't going to bring it up. He brought it up. I was going to let it ride, but I'm seconding it. This is not 'Is he not better than guys?' ' It's right now I'm going with what I think is fitting well. I don't want to force-feed a ninth guy (into the playing rotation)."
