Houston Rockets sweat on fitness of Dwight Howard

Houston Rockets centre Dwight Howard is a major doubt for game two of the Western Conference final against the Golden State Warriors tomorrow.

Howard injured his knee in game one yesterday, and is unsure if he will be able to play through the pain.

He told reporters: "The most important thing is that I'm healthy. Nobody can understand an injury when they're injured but the person that's injured. This is going to be on how I feel. If I feel like I can tolerate it and go out there and play on it, then I will.

"But my career is the most important thing. I want to do whatever I can to help the team, but I can't help the team if I'm hurt."

Howard sustained the injury when he collided with teammate Josh Smith.
