Carlos Delfino Out for Rest of Playoffs With Fractured Right Foot

The Houston Rockets announced tonight that forward Carlos Delfino is dunzo for the rest of the postseason due to a fracture in his right foot: “Carlos has played a large role in our success so far this season and we are disappointed for him that he will not be able to finish out this playoff run,” said Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey. ‘Carlos would love nothing more than to be out there with his teammates as they prepare for tonight’s Game 6, but this is the type of injury that requires a surgical repair. We expect he will be fully recovered in time for the start of next season.’ Delfino was forced to leave midway through the second quarter of Game 5 at Oklahoma City after experiencing soreness in his right foot. The eight-year veteran from Argentina played in 67 contests (five starts) during the regular season and registered averages of 10.6 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game. He posted averages of 9.0 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists in five playoff appearances this postseason.”
