  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Brooks finished with 18 points (5-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds and two steals across 31 minutes during Friday's 128-108 win over the Grizzlies. Brooks was held out of the regular-season opener Wednesday due to pain in his right knee, but the 28-year-old was able to make his 2024-25 debut Friday and finished with the second-most points on the Rockets behind Jalen Green (22). Despite the knee pain, Brooks managed to log 31 minutes, though it remains to be seen whether he'll log that same amount of playing time on the second leg of a back-to-back against the Spurs on Saturday.

Brooks is dealing with right anterior knee pain, and although he was always considered likely to suit up Friday based on the probable tag, now there's confirmation that he'll be available. It's uncertain whether the veteran forward will operate under a minutes restriction against his former team, and it's worth noting he logged 31 minutes in the season-opening loss to the Hornets on Wednesday, tallying two points and three rebounds.

  Brooks accounted for 15 points (4-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds and an assist across 22 minutes in Wednesday's 122-113 preseason win over the Thunder. Brooks didn't play in the previous preseason game due to rest purposes, but the veteran wing logged some much-needed minutes Wednesday, as he aims to ramp up before the regular-season opener against the Hornets on Oct. 23. It seems Brooks is ready to start the campaign, as he finished as Houston's second-highest scorer in this game while showing an accurate touch from beyond the arc. Brooks is penciled in to open the campaign as the starting small forward, flanked by Jalen Green at shooting guard and Jabari Smith at power forward.
