Bruno Fernando, who bucked the odds to become Houston’s starting center entering the 2022-23 regular season, is out indefinitely after injuring his left knee in the first half of the Rockets-Grizzlies home opener on Friday night.
In comments ahead of Monday’s game against Utah, head coach Stephen Silas indicated forward Jae’Sean Tate, who has not played in the regular season due to left ankle soreness, is closer to returning than either Fernando or rookie guard TyTy Washington. Each is dealing with knee sprains.
