Question: Who opted out due to injury The 1997 NBA All-Star Game, who currently serves as a color commentator for Houston Rockets home games?
Context: The 1996–97 NBA season was the Rockets' 30th season in the National Basketball Association, and 26th season in Houston.  During the offseason, the Rockets acquired All-Star forward Charles Barkley from the Phoenix Suns, and signed free agents Kevin Willis and Brent Price.  The Rockets blasted off to a 21–2 start, but later on struggled posting a six-game losing streak between January and February.  Barkley averaged 19.2 points per game, but appeared in just 53 games due to ankle and hip injuries.  At midseason, the Rockets signed free agents Eddie Johnson and Sedale Threatt as they finished second in the Midwest Division with a 57–25 record.  Barkley, Hakeem Olajuwon, Clyde Drexler and head coach Rudy Tomjanovich represented the Western Conference during the 1997 NBA All-Star Game.  However, Barkley and Drexler did not play due to injuries. Calvin Jerome Murphy (born May 9, 1948) is an American retired professional basketball player who played as a guard for the NBA's San Diego/Houston Rockets from 1970 to 1983, and is a current member of the Houston Rockets' Root Sports TV broadcast team.  Standing at a height of 5 ft , Murphy has the distinction of being the shortest NBA player inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame, and to play in an NBA All-Star Game (the latter since tied by Isaiah Thomas in 2016). The 2005-06 Houston Rockets season was the team's 39th in the NBA.  They began the season hoping to improve upon their 51–31 output from the previous season.  However, with Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming missing 70 games due to injuries, they came up seventeen games shy of tying it, finishing 34–48, and failing to qualify for the playoffs for the first time in three seasons.  This season was the only time the Rockets did not make the playoffs under Jeff Van Gundy.  As Houston hosted the 2006 NBA All-Star Game, McGrady and Yao were the only team representatives. The 1951 NBA All-Star Game was an exhibition basketball game played on March 2, 1951, at Boston Garden in Boston, Massachusetts, home of the Boston Celtics.  The game was the first edition of the National Basketball Association (NBA) All-Star Game and was played during the 1950–51 NBA season.  The idea of holding an All-Star Game was conceived during a meeting between NBA President Maurice Podoloff, NBA publicity director Haskell Cohen and Boston Celtics owner Walter A. Brown.  At that time, the basketball world had just been stunned by the college basketball point-shaving scandal.  In order to regain public attention to the league, Cohen suggested the league to host an exhibition game featuring the league's best players, similar to the Major League Baseball's All-Star Game.  Although most people, including Podoloff, were pessimistic about the idea, Brown remained confident that it would be a success.  He even offered to host the game and to cover all the expenses or potential losses incurred from the game.  The Eastern All-Stars team defeated the Western All-Stars team 111–94.  Boston Celtics' Ed Macauley was named as the first NBA All-Star Game Most Valuable Player Award.  The game became a success, drawing an attendance of 10,094, much higher than that season's average attendance of 3,500. The 2001–02 NBA season was the Raptors' 7th season in the National Basketball Association.  During the offseason, the Raptors acquired All-Star center and 2-time NBA Champion Hakeem Olajuwon from the Houston Rockets.  Throughout the season, All-Star guard Vince Carter struggled with a left knee injury, and only managed to play 60 games.  Despite the injury, Carter was still voted to play in the All-Star Game for the third consecutive year, but he did not play due to injury.  The Raptors played solid basketball with a 29–21 start 50 games into the season.  However, the team then suffered a 13-game losing streak, losing 17 of their next 18 games.  They would then post a nine-game winning streak between March and April. The 2006 NBA All-Star Game was played on Sunday, February 19, 2006 at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, home of the Houston Rockets.  The game was the 55th annual All-Star game.  The theme song was by Houston native Chamillionaire who made a new version of his hit "Turn It Up."  Trailing by 21 points, the East rode the hot shooting of LeBron James and the teamwork of the four All-Stars from the Detroit Pistons to a 122–120 victory over the West.  The 21-year-old James, who scored 29 points and grabbed six rebounds, became the youngest player to win MVP.  With the score tied, Dwyane Wade, who finished with 20 points, hit the game-winning layup with 16 seconds left.  Tracy McGrady of the Houston Rockets led all players with a game-high 36 points.  The Detroit Pistons tied a record with the 1962 Boston Celtics (Sam Jones, Bill Russell, Bob Cousy, Tom Heinsohn), 1975 Celtics (John Havlicek, JoJo White, Dave Cowens, Paul Silas), 1983 Philadelphia 76ers (Julius Erving, Moses Malone, Andrew Toney and Maurice Cheeks), 1998 Lakers (Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal, Eddie Jones and Nick Van Exel), 2011 Boston Celtics (Rajon Rondo, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen), 2015 Atlanta Hawks (Al Horford, Jeff Teague, Paul Millsap and Kyle Korver), and 2017 Golden State Warriors (Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green) by sending four players to the All-Star game. The 1997 NBA All-Star Game was the 47th edition of the All-Star Game and commemorated the 50th anniversary of NBA.  The game was played on February 9, 1997, at Gund Arena (now known as Quicken Loans Arena) in Cleveland, Ohio, United States.  The winner of the MVP award was Glen Rice of the Charlotte Hornets who played 25 minutes and scored 26 points while breaking two records in the process, 20 points in the third quarter and 24 points in the second half.  Rice's 20 points in the period broke Hal Greer's record (19), set in 1968.  Rice's 24 points in a half surpassed the previous mark of 23, owned by Wilt Chamberlain and Tom Chambers.  Michael Jordan's 14 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists were the first and, until the 2011 NBA All-Star Game, the only triple-double in NBA All-Star Game history (LeBron James (2011), Dwyane Wade (2012), and Kevin Durant (2017) have also achieved this).  Five players (Charles Barkley, Alonzo Mourning, Patrick Ewing, Clyde Drexler, Shaquille O’Neal) who were voted or selected for the team opted out due to injury, opening the doors for the annually neglected and the new stars—Joe Dumars, Detlef Schrempf, Chris Webber, Chris Gatling and 20-year-old second-year man Kevin Garnett took their spots. Clyde Austin "The Glide" Drexler (born June 22, 1962) is an American retired professional basketball swingman.  During his career, he was a ten-time All-Star, and named one of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History.  Drexler won an Olympic gold medal in 1992 as part of the 1992 United States men's Olympic basketball team ("The Dream Team") and an NBA Championship in 1995 with the Houston Rockets.  He is a two-time Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame inductee (being inducted 2004 for his individual career, and in 2010 as a member of the "Dream Team") He currently serves as a color commentator for Houston Rockets home games. The 2013–14 Houston Rockets season was the 47th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and the 43rd based in Houston.  The season is best remembered for acquiring All-Star Dwight Howard from the Los Angeles Lakers.  With Howard teamed up with team captain James Harden, they gelled their first season together, being named as starters for the 2014 NBA All-Star Game.  With Howard now as co-captain, the Rockets improved on last season and finished with a 54–28 record, finishing 4th in the Western Conference.  They met the Portland Trail Blazers in the first round, but the presences of Howard and Harden were not enough as Houston fell in six games, thanks to a Damian Lillard series-clinching three pointer in Game 6. The 2013 NBA All-Star Game was an exhibition basketball game that was played on February 17, 2013 at Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, the current home of the Houston Rockets.  This game was the 62nd edition of the National Basketball Association (NBA) All-Star Game and was played during the 2012–13 NBA season.  The Houston Rockets were awarded the All-Star Game in an announcement by commissioner David Stern on February 8, 2012.  This was the third time that Houston had hosted the All-Star Game; the city had previously hosted the event in 1989 at the Astrodome and 2006 at the Toyota Center.  The West won the game 143–138, and Chris Paul of the Los Angeles Clippers was named the game's most valuable player (MVP).
