Ariza (back) won't return to Tuesday's game against the Nets, Jonathan Feigen of of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Analysis:

Ariza suffered a bruised back on a hard fall as he was going up for a layup during the first quarter. He was taken to the locker room, with the Rockets determining he wasn't healthy enough to get back on the court. He'll finish the outing with two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) over four minutes, and it's still unclear how severe the injury actually might be. Ariza should be considered questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Wizards.
