Mbah a Moute missed 15 games in December and January after dislocating his right shoulder during a fall, and it happened again on a dunk in traffic at Staples Center.
The Rockets (64-16) are locked into the top seed in the West playoffs with two games to play, but coach Mike D'Antoni kept his normal starting lineup and rotation for their penultimate regular-season game.
Mbah a Moute is a key rotation player for the Rockets, averaging 7.6 points and 3.1 rebounds per game off the bench.
