Garcia joins a laundry list of Rockets injuries, as Dwight Howard, Terrence Jones, Isaiah Canaan and Kostas Papanikolaou are all slated to miss Wednesday's contest, while James Harden remains banged up with a back issue.

He'll see how it feels at Tuesday's practice, after which a decision on his status for Wednesday will likely be made.

He does not play enough, nor does he contribute enough when he does play, to be on the fantasy radar for most managers.

Garcia (illness) did not play in Wednesday's game, and his status for Friday's game is unknown at this time. Garcia missed practice with an illness Monday, but there have been no further reports on him to this point. Even when healthy, Garcia has played in just two games for the Rockets this season.
