Von Wafer ended up being available for Houston's Game 6 against the Blazers after he was ruled out due to back spasms.

"I felt good in the workout," Wafer said before Rockets team physician Tom Clanton cleared him to play. "It?s not really tough. I just want to be out there with my teammates. I was home today. I thought I wouldn?t be able to play. I just thought about my teammates. I wanted to be there. I just want to play."
