Rockets' Patrick Beverley: Will start Saturday despite previous reports to contrary

Beverley (groin) will play and start in Saturday's tilt against the Timberwolves despite previous reports indicating that he would be sidelined, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Analysis:

Beverley tested out his injury in the pregame shootaround and determined that it's good enough for him to take part in Saturday's contest. He played 30 minutes Thursday against the Pelicans, and could see a similar workload against the Timberwolves.
