Patrick Beverley will not play against his former team on Friday when the Clippers travel to Houston to face the Rockets; he’s out for the rest of the season after undergoing surgery on his right knee. But that isn’t stopping the Rockets from showing a tribute video to honor his return:

Beverley, a former second-round pick who played several years overseas and in the D League before finally getting an NBA opportunity with the Rockets, played five seasons in Houston and established himself as a tenacious defender and an ideal second guard alongside James Harden. He was traded to the Clippers over the summer as part of the deal that sent Chris Paul to Houston.
