Fortunately, this doesn’t appear to be anything too serious. But it will keep Terrence Jones out for a game.
He was driving to the airport where the Rockets were off to Phoenix for a Thursday night game, when Jones was involved in a car accident. From Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle.
Rockets forward Terrence Jones was in a car accident on the way to the flight today and will not play tomorrow, source said.

Jones was not hurt, a source said, but the team opted to let him sit out the one-game trip to play the Suns.

Jones comes off the bench for the Rockets and plays minutes in the teens most nights, but had almost 30 in the Rockets’ last game. Not having him leaves the Rockets shorthanded.
Without Jones, Rockets w/ only 2 or 3 bigs again. Capela questionable. Harrell out. D-Mo in D-League. They're like the Howard-Smith AAU tm.
