Rockets forward Shane Battier hopes to play in preseason games by next week.

He suffered a pulled right hamstring on the first day of training camp.

"I don't want to come back for a game without a practice," Battier told the Houston Chronicle. "Whenever we practice next (either Saturday or Sunday), I'll practice and hopefully play the next game."
