The Houston Rockets are playing in Boston and Washington this week.

Their star combo guard James Harden used the trip to the Eastern Seaboard to check out his boy Meek Mill, who's locked up in a Chester, PA prison.

"Got a chance to see my bro Meek Mill today. His spirit is high and hopefully we can get him out by February," Harden wrote on social media yesterday. "Told me to tell y'all when he get out he got some (fire) for y'all."

Harden is expected to wear a pair of special "Free Meek" kicks when the Rockets take on Boston tomorrow on TNT.

Meek is serving 2-4 years for probation violations. His lawyers believe the judge on his case has a vendetta against him and are working to get Meek out earlier.
