Francis Out
Hooped Up | January 1, 2008
Houston Rockets guard Steve Francis will be out for the indefinite future due to bi-lateral quadriceps tendinitis, the team announced prior to Monday’s contest with the Golden State Warriors. Francis, who had already been sidelined since December 20 with a bout of the flu, will not accompany the team on its road trip to Boston and Orlando starting on Wednesday to begin his rehabilitation.





It is unlikely that Francis will return next season. The Knicks reneged on a buyout agreement with Francis after Jamal Crawford suffered a season-ending ankle injury. A Cavs source said that the team was made aware of Steve Francis’ pending buyout and had internal discussions about acquiring him.”
