Canaan (ankle) has ditched his walking boot and crutches, but he won't play Wednesday against the Grizzlies, the Houston Chronicle reports. "It's feeling a lot better," he said. "...It's been doing pretty good. I'm sure it will still be a few more days. I just want to get it to 100 percent to when I'm out there."

Analysis:

Canaan has seemingly improved markedly since suffering a sprained ankle during Friday's loss to the Clippers, but caution will also be exercised to ensure his ankle is healthy when he next takes the court. While his next opportunity to suit up will likely occur Friday at Minnesota, Jason Terry will cover point guard with Patrick Beverley (hamstring) out of commission.
