Rockets guard Bob Sura said Thursday he has been told that he has a 70 percent chance of returning to the court, but that if he can play again, the surgery and rehabilitation will keep him out "for months."
Rockets doctors have not set a timetable on his return, waiting until after "the post-operative phase" before making an estimate. But Sura, 32, said he knows he will have to learn to be patient.
"It's been difficult," Sura said after watching Thursday's practice. "In the summer, it was easier with nothing going on. Now that the guys are back at it and the sneakers are squeaking and stuff, it's hard.
"The uncertainty is really the hard part. Whether I'm going to be able to play, whether I'm not is really hard. I don't know. I don't know if anybody does. The doctor gave me a 70/30 outlook."
Bad news for the Rockets, Sura ain't a superstar but he does his job and he does it well, always plays hard and is a very versatile option.
