Houston Rockets forward Dorian Finney-Smith is expected to miss the start of the NBA season while recovering from off-season ankle surgery. Coach Ime Udoka was asked Wednesday after training camp if Finney-Smith would be ready for Houston’s opener against Oklahoma City on Oct. 21. He said “no, probably not.” Udoka added that he didn’t know how long Finney-Smith’s debut with the Rockets would be delayed. Udoka added that Finney-Smith was not yet cleared for contact activities but he has been participating in camp. Udoka says “no contact but doing all the shooting and other things as well as getting treatment during practice.”
