Motiejunas (back) was recalled from Rio Grande Valley Vipers of the D-League on Monday.

Motiejunas spent the weekend in the D-League as a final tune-up before returning to NBA action following a back injury that's kept him out for more than a month. The big man said he plans on making his return sometime this week, but at this point it's unclear which game in particular he's targeting. The Rockets host the Heat on Tuesday before playing the Suns in Phoenix on Thursday.
