Red Nation already knew James Harden was recovering from a sore right foot.
Add Chandler Parsons to the list of the walking wounded.
Parsons is recovering from a bout of food poisoning suffered Sunday evening. Both Parsons and Harden did not take part in gameday shootaround on Monday leading up to the Rockets' game against the Magic. They are both game-time decisions.
Kevin McHale joked Monday that it wasn't so much food poisoning for his small forward as it was Wolverine poisoning the way Michigan handled Parsons' Florida Gators Sunday in the NCAA tournament.
Harden has been dealing with a sore right foot since hurting it on February 13 against the Warriors. The injury flared up recently to where it forced the Rockets All-Star to miss Saturday's 98-81 win over the Clippers. Harden said after Monday shootaround that he'll get treatment and work out closer to gametime before deciding whether or not he can play. That said, McHale said he did not expect Harden to suit up.
"I would say James probably won't play," McHale said following Monday's shootaround.
Harden is fifth in the league in scoring at 26 points a game, while also averaging 4.7 rebounds and 5.8 assists.
Parsons is second on the Rockets in scoring at 15.1 points a game and also averages 5.4 rebounds and 3.5 assists.
