Though veteran center Enes Freedom was waived after Houston’s deadline trade with Boston, Rockets GM Rafael Stone says the current plan is to keep newly acquired big man Bruno Fernando around.
Just 23 years old, Fernando is much younger than Kanter, and that upside could make him a more valuable experiment to the rebuilding Rockets. A 6-foot-9 big, Fernando was drafted No. 34 overall in the 2019 NBA draft, but he has played only sparingly in the league since then.
