Piatkowski activated from injured list

Piatkowski, signed in the offseason from the Los Angeles Clippers, was forced to the injured list on Oct. 27 with a sprained left ankle after playing just one preseason game. He scored 13 points in his preseason debut with the Rockets on Oct. 8 at Seattle.

Now in his 10th NBA season, the 32-year-old Piatkowski averaged 9.7 points and 2.5 rebounds per game last year and is fifth among active players in career three-point percentage with a .402 clip.

To make room for Piatkowski, the Rockets placed reserve guard Mike Wilks on the injured list with a right shoulder contusion. Wilks has averaged 1.0 point and 0.5 assists in four games this season.

Piatkowski is expected to be in uniform for Monday night’s game against his former team for the first time when Houston visits the Staples Center to take on the Clippers.
