As the Houston Rockets prepare to take on the Utah Jazz on Monday at Vivint Smart Arena, they will get a chance to see two players that may impact their season heading into the All-Star break and beyond.
Newly acquired guard Dennis Schröder and center Bruno Fernando participated in an early morning shootaround with the team in Salt Lake City as they try to get acclimated with their new teammates and get a feel for the offensive and defensive sets utilized by the Rockets.
“He will get minutes off the bench and get incorporated into what we do,” Rockets head coach Stephen Silas said when asked about playing time for Schröder versus the Jazz. “It is a chance for him to try and get to learn his teammates and will give us a chance to get to learn him.”
