Donatas Motiejunas injury recovery has been extremely slow

Rockets GM Daryl Morey tells ESPN the recovery time for Donatas Motiejunas (back surgery) has been slow. "It has been slower than anyone wants," Morey said Friday night. In terms of Motiejunas being ready for start of regular season, Morey wasn't certain. "It's too early to determine but certainly not for certain that he'll be ready for the first game."

Fantasy Impact:

D-Mo has been healing at a very slow rate and with Jones out (bruised ribs) it is going to be very interesting how they are going to run their lineups. The depth chart at PF for the Rockets is currently Jones-Montiejunas-Harrell. The rookie Harrell may be getting a lot of playing time with the starters if the veterans are not healthy soon.
