Amen Thompson returned to the Rockets’ starting lineup and will not be on a minutes restriction, Rockets coach Ime Udoka said pregame. “Obviously, we’ve implemented a few new things without him in the last few games, and so he’s gone over that, seen that,” Udoka said. “Put in some new sets and defensive wrinkles as well. So he’s gonna do what he does and take on a matchup every night, but it’s good to have him around.”

David Hardisty: Ime Udoka says Amen Thompson is “looking good” and is making improvements. Swelling is down, mobility is up. He has to get a live contact session in still, but once he does that, they will make a determination on his return. Amen will travel on the road trip.

Then there’s Amen Thompson. Obviously, he’s going to be a star. But the big question is—can he be that offensive engine? Somebody in the organization asked me, ‘Tell me what peak Russell Westbrook could do that this kid doesn’t have a chance to do.’ -via YouTube / March 17, 2025
