Rockets' Beverley: 'I'm definitely playing' vs. Grizzlies
After missing the past five games with a left ankle sprain, Houston Rockets point guard Patrick Beverley said he's "definitely playing" on Wednesday night when his team takes on the Memphis Grizzlies at the Toyota Center.
Beverley, 27, is one of the team's best perimeter defenders, as well as a long-range threat from behind the arc, shooting 36 percent from 3-point range over his four-year career.

He's averaging 4.7 points and 3.1 rebounds in seven games this season for the Rockets, however his minutes (16) have been cut nearly in half from what they were in 2014-15 (30.8), with Ty Lawson now in Houston's backcourt picture.
Houston has lost six of their last seven games, including a 107-102 loss to the New York Knicks on Saturday.
