Get Well Card

I would like to send out my best wishes for a speedy recovery to Carl Landry. Upon returning to Houston after contributing to a resounding victory in New Orleans last night, Carl was involved in what is being termed as a "random act of violence". He was shot in the leg when he got out of his vehicle after it was sideswiped. Fortunately, the wound was described as a surface wound in the left calf and is classified as a minor injury. He also dislocated a finger on his left hand. I have found no news reports that placed any blame whatsoever on Carl for the incident. He was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

As to how it affects the Rockets, team physician Dr. Tom Clanton expects Landry to miss from one to three weeks. A quick look at the Rockets' schedule shows that if the doctor's prognosis is correct, Landry will miss from four to ten games, returning in time for at least the last three games of the regular season and, of course, the playoffs. Landry has been a major contributor to the Rockets this season off the bench and they will miss his scoring, athleticism and enthusiasm.

Get well soon, Carl.
