The Houston Rockets could get Luc Mbah a Moute back for the Western Conference semifinals, according to coach Mike D’Antoni.
Mbah a Moute, who dislocated his shoulder a little over two weeks ago, is progressing well in his recovery and could be cleared for the second round at some point.
D’Antoni said Mbah a Moute will get looked at again (evaluated) during this series & could return in conf. semis. #Rockets

The second round won’t start before Sunday depending on when the series between the Utah Jazz and Oklahoma City Thunder ends. If it goes seven games, that would buy Mbah a Moute more time to get healthy. The defensive specialist has been optimistic about a return, and it sounds like he stands a good shot at getting at least some time on the court during the second round.
