Houston Rockets center Dwight Howard will be out for at least another month as he rehabs from a knee injection. The team said Wednesday that Howard had a bone marrow aspirate injection and would begin rehabilitation immediately. He is set to be evaluated in four weeks, but that doesn’t mean he would be able to play right away. Howard last played January 23rd when he left a game against the Phoenix Suns with a sprained right ankle and reported swelling in that knee later. Dr. Walt Lowe, of the Memorial Hermann Sports Medicine Institute says he would expect Howard back before the playoffs and that the injection wasn’t anything surgical and it was really a 20-minute shot.
