Some of the previous Rockets games, almost every game has 1-2 players because of injury can not play, like before the injury of a month of Amen Thompson, and from time to time injured absence of Ethan, of course, and the Rockets of the old injured Oladipo, since he joined the Rockets, so far, has not represented the Rockets out of the game. I haven't even been to a Rockets practice. Although Oladipo is a member of the Rockets' 18-man roster, he has been outside the Rockets' lineup.

Oladipo's only remaining value is his expiring contract. Today, before the game with the Lone Rangers, the Rockets officially announced a good news, they will be three D-League players, Samuels, Hinton and rookie Whitmore, recalled to the Rockets.

Since the D-League Vipers won't play their next game until a few days later, it makes sense for the Rockets to bring back and develop three young players who have played well in the D-League, especially Whitmore, who is averaging 26 points, six rebounds and three assists per game in the D-League this season. And averaging two steals per game, not only is he the D-League's leading scorer, but he deserves to be a superstar in the D-League.

Of course, Whitmore is only a rookie in the Rockets and in the nba league, and he himself has not played much time, and usually in the Rockets, he is just taking advantage of garbage time to practice.

Uduka never would have played Whitmore on a regular basis because the Rockets still had so many available players. After three D-League players returned to the Rockets, the Rockets now have no players in the D-League. In other words, all 18 players on the Rockets roster have theoretically returned to the Rockets, of course, except for Oladipo, almost all players can play for the Rockets.

Even if Ethan is injured, his injury is not serious, and he will be able to play after a rest or two. Previously, the Rockets basically only 11 to 12 players per game can be used, the players have not been recalled by the Rockets, and now Amen Thompson, Tate these injured and sick have been officially returned, the Rockets have recalled three strong players from the development League, so that the depth of the Rockets lineup is enough, in addition to Oladipo, Basically, Coach Uduka can use up to 17 players per game.
