Heugh was injured during pre-season and was ruled out at the start of the season.

Last season, he was chosen as the best player for The Rockets following his great exploits. But the injury prevented him from continuing from where he
had left off last season.

“I’m very happy to be back. For now, it is all about getting my match fitness and sharpness back. That will take time. It is good to be back in the field of
play. I’m looking forward to getting some minutes under my belt,” he said.

Heugh has completed his rehabilitation and is starting to train with the squad.

“This was the first time I got injured and I had an operation. It is a first-time experience. It is not the easiest for me. I want to come back stronger
now. I’ve worked very hard to get back. I had to control my weight,” Heugh stated.

Vasilaje Kolak is currently occupying the number-one jersey for The Rockets.

“I have to fight against myself. I always push myself to the limit. That’s been my mentality all these years. The most important thing is to push yourself. It is your mind that will get you through. I compete against myself, no one else,” Heugh explained.

Galaxy supporters are equally happy about Heugh’s recovery and believe his immediate return to the team may help them start winning
again.

The Rockets need to start collecting maximum points to avoid relegation. They are currently on the bottom of the log.
