After sitting out the Houston Rockets' first-round victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves, forward Luc Mbah a Moute is targeting a return in Game 1 against the Utah Jazz Sunday, he told reporters - including ESPN's Tim MacMahon.
The Rockets have officially listed him as questionable.
Mbah a Moute dislocated his right shoulder in Houston's second-to-last regular season game and hasn't played since. "I'm ready in my mind," he said.
The 31-year-old Cameroonian is a big part of the Rockets' defense, with the ability to hit a three-pointer when needed.
