Rockets' Patrick Beverley: Will play Thursday vs. OKC

Coach Mike D'Antoni said Beverley (wrist) will play Thursday against the Thunder, Calvin Watkins of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis:

Beverley wore a bandage on his right hand/wrist during practice Wednesday, but he was still able to shoot without much impedance. As a result, Beverley has been cleared to return to action Thursday, putting an end to a two-game absence. His return will likely be coupled with a move to the bench for Corey Brewer, who moved into the starting five the last two contests in Beverley's stead.
