Wall (knee) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Mavs, though he will face a minutes limit, Cayleigh Griffin of ATT SportsNet Southwest reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coach Stephen Silas did not reveal how many minutes he expects Wall to play, but it shouldn't come as a surprise that the veteran won't be cleared for a full workload. In his seven appearances since the All-Star break, Wall is averaging 17.1 points, 9.4 assists, 3.9 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.0 blocks per contest.

Wall (knee) expects to play Wednesday against Dallas, Cayleigh Griffin of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wall is officially questionable for Wednesday's game after he missed the last four games due to knee issues. Assuming Wall is available, D.J. Augustin and Kevin Porter would likely see decreased run for Houston.

Wall (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wall has missed the last four games due to knee issues, but he has a chance to return to the floor Wednesday. If Wall is able to return, D.J. Augustin likely would see a decreased workload, and Kevin Porter could be in line for fewer playmaking opportunities.

Wall (knee) will not play in Monday's game against Phoenix, Mark Berman of Fox 26 in Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Wall will remain out for a fourth straight game as he continues to deal with soreness and discomfort in his troublesome knee. On Sunday, coach Stephen Silas said the Rockets are "shooting for Wednesday" for Wall to make his return, but given the guard's history that's far from a guarantee.

Wall (knee) is unlikely to play in Monday's game against Phoenix, Cayleigh Griffin of ATT SportsNet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wall will miss a third straight game Sunday due to knee soreness, and coach Stephen Silas did not sound optimistic about the veteran's chances to return Monday night. Silas told the media the Rockets are "shooting for Wednesday" for Wall to potentially make his return against the Mavericks. As such, Kevin Porter Jr. will likely make two more starts at point guard before shifting back to shooting guard.

Wall (knee) is out Sunday against the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
Wall will be out for a third straight game Sunday as he continues to work back from left knee soreness. Kevin Porter and Sterling Brown should continue to have extra responsibilities as a result.

Wall (knee) is out Friday against the Celtics, Cayleigh Griffin of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.
EDGE Analysis

Wall (knee) will not play in Wednesday's game against the Nets, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's likely more of a maintenance day for Wall, who played 33 minutes in Monday night's loss to Memphis and has started each of the last seven games. With the veteran sidelined, Houston will use its 32nd unique lineup of the year, featuring Kevin Porter Jr. at point guard and Sterling Brown at the other guard spot.

Wall is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nets due to left knee effusion.
EDGE Analysis
Wall is dealing with excess fluid in or around his knee joint, so it's unclear if he'll be able to play Wednesday. If he's sidelined, it would be his first absence since March 17 and his first absence since Victor Oladipo was traded to the Heat. Wall being out would vault Kevin Porter and D.J. Augustin into bigger roles.
