Just two weeks after undergoing knee surgery to repair a
torn right meniscus, Phoenix Suns forward Grant Hill will
return to the court Friday in Houston against the Rockets.

According to Arizona Sports 620’s Kyndra
de St. Aubin
, Hill
won’t start for head coach Alvin Gentry,
and instead will assume a bench role for the first time
since December 4, 2009.

In fact, Hill has only come off the bench 22 times in his
17-year career which has spanned 994 NBA games.

The Suns went 5-4 in Hill’s absence and find themselves two
games behind Houston and Denver for the final Western
Conference playoff spot.
