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 October 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 was in uniform for Monday night’s 105-90 victory over the Clippers. Playing against his former team, Piatkowski played 11 minutes and posted five points.
