Houston Rockets forward Jabari Smith Jr. returned to action Friday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves after missing 22 games due to a broken left hand.
Coming off the bench, Jabari Smith played 38 minutes in Houston’s 121-115 win, finishing with 15 points (including 4-of-6 from three) and nine rebounds before fouling out.
“It was just a little bit of everything,” Rockets coach Ime Udoka said of Smith’s return. “Easing him back into it … we’ll see how he looks, and everything is kind of open moving forward.”
