Rockets' Ryan Anderson: Ruled out Wednesday vs. Jazz

Anderson (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup with the Jazz, Calvin Watkins of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis:

Anderson was already considered doubtful for Wednesday's contest, so he was fully expected to be ruled out. Now that it's official, look for guys like Trevor Ariza and Sam Dekker to pick up some more minutes at power forward, although it remains to be seen who the Rockets will use in the starting five. Anderson is expected to receive treatment overnight and depending on how that goes, the Rockets will then make a decision on if he'll travel with the team to Chicago. For that reason, Anderson can tentatively be considered questionable for Friday's matchup with the Bulls.
