Lue won't debut vs. Rockets

New backup point guard Tyronn Lue, signed Tuesday night, went through a limited practice Wednesday and didn’t take part in contact drills. He won’t be in uniform against Houston.

“Once we can get him into the fold, we hope to just have a veteran point guard,” Avery Johnson said. “Somebody with a lot of playoff experience and somebody who can make a shot at that position. This will help us to keep [Jason Terry] at the 2-guard spot, which we love right now. It will get us another ball handler, another experienced player in the back court position.”
