Three stitches over his left eye courtesy of a Chris Webber elbow, a deep bruise on his right thigh courtesy of a Samuel Dalembert knee, bruises on his elbows, back and knees courtesy of countless collisions with the hardwood the past two weeks — Richard Hamilton is a physical wreck.

“I have been in a dogfight these last couple of games,” Hamilton said Wednesday after missing practice to take treatment. “The thigh is really sore. It tightened up on me. Hopefully we can get it loose so I have some flexibility.”

Hamilton is probable for tonight’s game in Houston. Chauncey Billups, who practiced Wednesday after missing two games (sore left groin) also is probable.
