Luc Mbah a Moute to return for Game 1 of West semifinals
The Houston Rockets are getting a boost in the form of Luc Mbah a Moute’s return to the lineup for the Western Conference semifinal.
Mbah a Moute dislocated his shoulder in early April, a frustrating injury that cost him the first round of the playoffs. He will play, however, as the Rockets open round two against the Utah Jazz.

Even though Mbah a Moute isn’t one of Houston’s core players, this is nicely timed. He’s a key part of their reserve unit and a quality defender, and they’ll be pleased that the only meaningful time he missed was the West quarterfinal that they cruised through anyway.
