Christian Wood hasn't missed a single one of the Houston Rockets' first 21 games this season, but that streak could be in jeopardy.
Wood suffered an ankle injury during the team's most recent game -- a 114-110 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday -- but ESPN's Tim MacMahon reports that the injury doesn't seem to be a significant concern.
Rockets C/PF Christian Wood’s ankle sprain is not considered serious, per sources. Status for Friday night’s game vs. Magic is TBD, but Wood isn’t expected to be out for an extended stretch.

The 26-year-old is currently in his sixth NBA season and second with the Rockets. Wood leads the team in points (16.0), rebounds (11.2), blocks (1.0) and minutes (31.6) per game through the first quarter of the campaign.
The Rockets and Magic tip off at 8:00 p.m. ET on Friday.
