Rockets' Jones dealing with concussion after release from hospital
Houston Rockets forward Terrence Jones suffered a concussion as a result of a car accident Wednesday, and is now undergoing NBA concussion protocol.
Jones was released from hospital Friday after a two-night stay, and will not play Saturday against the Portland Trail Blazers. He also missed Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns.
It's doubtful that Terrence Jones will play in the remaining three games of the 1 half of the season as he recovers from a concussion.

The accident occurred while he was driving to the airport for the team flight to Phoenix. Jones has battled to stay healthy throughout in his career, so far missing 125 games in his four seasons in the league. The gifted power forward is averaging 9.3 points and 4.5 rebounds in 22.3 minutes per game this season.
Last year, he missed 49 games due to severe ailments that included career-threatening nerve damage to his left leg and a collapsed lung.
