Parsons suffered a traumatic brain injury, disk herniation and a torn labrum in a crash on Wednesday, according to his attorneys. Parsons was hit by a driver, who the attorneys say was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol. “I called and talk to his friends and family last night,” Rivers said. “It’s scary what happened to him. It’s very unfortunate what happened. They seemed in good spirits last night about the fact he’s doing better. I didn’t talk to him, obviously.”
Jonathan Feigen: Rockets guard Austin Rivers is out against the Lakers tomorrow with a sprained right thumb.
Tim MacMahon: With Russell Westbrook resting, Austin Rivers will start for the Rockets. “Someone is gonna have to chase Ja Morant around, and I’m gonna let Austin do it,” Mike D’Antoni said. Eric Gordon will come off the bench.
A year in with the Rockets, he knows the roster well, and he is unsure how confident to be in a fourth-place Western Conference team that for a second consecutive season has yet to figure itself out through the first half. He mentioned the Rockets’ embarrassments since Christmas: their losses to the Warriors, Pelicans and Thunder — inferior teams. “Point blank, the Thunder’s a good team, but they’re not better than us,” Rivers said.
