Rockets' Pablo Prigioni: Suffers shoulder strain in preseason win

Prigioni exited Wednesday's 116-104 preseason win over the Pelicans with a left shoulder strain, ESPN.com's Calvin Watkins reports.

Analysis:

Prigioni hurt his shoulder when he ran into the Pelicans' Alexis Ajinca, spelling an early end to his game. He finished with four points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and one rebound across three minutes. The Rockets are listing Prigioni as day-to-day ahead of Saturday's exhibition against the Grizzlies, but it wouldn't be a surprise if the team ended up holding the 39-year-old out of that contest.
