Vonleh (ankle) didn't end up seeing the court in Wednesday's win over the Rockets.

Analysis:

Though the Blazers announced that Vonleh would be active and available to play in the contest, coach Terry Stotts chose not to call the second-year big man's number, as Maurice Harkless earned the starting nod in his stead. It was likely just a measure to give Vonleh some additional time to heal up with the All-Star break on tap, so he's probably not dealing with any sort of setback. Expect Vonleh to be available for the Blazers' next game Feb. 19 against the Warriors, though it's not clear if he'll be used in a starting role after Harkless shined in Wednesday's game with season highs of 19 points and 13 rebounds.
