Rockets forward Shane Battier will be out for at least a week with a slight muscle pull.

Battier suffered the injury in practice on Tuesday.

"I was pretty disappointed last night," Battier told the Houston Chronicle. "I got home and told my wife I'll see here tomorrow and locked myself in my room. I want to be out here with these guys and playing. I don't think it's too severe of a pull. ...

"It's not something I want lingering. It's not worth rushing back to where I'll have to deal with it the rest of the season."
