Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Limited during Tuesday's practice
Fred VanVleet didn't participate during the portion of Tuesday's practice that was open to the media, but coach Ime Udoka said the point guard was active for the rest of the session, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.VanVleet missed a Dec. 8 win over the Clippers due to a knee issue, marking his second absence of the season, and he's totaled only 16 points (6-28 FG, 3-20 3Pt) over two appearances since returning to action.
