Scores 18 points vs. Memphis 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.

Impact 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.

Gets green light vs. Memphis Brooks (knee) is available and will play in Friday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact 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.

Listed probable for Friday Brooks (knee) is probable for Friday's game versus the Grizzlies, Ben DuBose of USA Today reports.

Impact Brooks is dealing with right anterior knee pain, though he is likely to suit up for a second straight matchup. It is unclear whether the 28-year-old will operate under a minutes restriction, though if he does it could open up more playing time for Amen Thompson and Cam Whitmore (knee).

Scores 13 points Tuesday Brooks finished with 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt), four rebounds and an assist across 24 minutes in Tuesday's 118-98 preseason win over the Pelicans.

Impact Brooks was one of three starters who scored in double digits for the Rockets in this comfortable win. The veteran forward seems ready to go for the start of the regular season against the Hornets on Oct. 23. However, the team still has one preseason game left against the Spurs on Thursday. Regardless of whether he plays against San Antonio or not, Brooks is penciled in to open the 2024-25 campaign as the Rockets' starting small forward.

Goes for 15 points Wednesday 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.

Impact Brooks didn't play in the previous preseason game due to rest purposes, but the veteran wing logged some much-needed minutes in this one, as he aims to ramp up before the regular-season opener against the Hornets on Oct. 23. It seems Brooks is more than 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.

Impact Brooks will stay on the sidelines Monday, though it is more than likely nothing more than an extra day of rest for the eighth-year vet. With Brooks out, the Rockets will likely get an extended look at Reed Sheppard, Cam Whitmore and Amen Thompson.

Posts 13 points in win Brooks logged 13 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Canada's 88-85 win over Spain on Friday.

Impact Brooks has been a reliable option for Canada during the group stage, and he had an efficient showing from the floor Friday while also contributing in secondary categories, as he tied for the team lead in rebounds while posting the second-highest assist total on the team. The 28-year-old should continue to have plenty of chances to contribute during the knockout round, especially on the scoreboard.

Stellar from deep in victory Brooks put up 14 points (4-9 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, one steal and one assist across 24 minutes in Canada's 86-79 win over Greece in the Paris Olympics on Saturday.

Impact Brooks found himself in foul trouble late in the game, but he took advantage of his limited playing time and provided a solid outing in a close win. The 28-year-old was extremely efficient from deep, and his three-and-D ability will be crucial for Canada in going on a successful Olympic run. However, Canada will likely need Brooks to avoid getting into foul trouble if he is going to make a major impact, especially against tough group-phase opponents consisting of Australia and Spain.

Three steals vs. Dallas Brooks closed Sunday's 147-136 overtime loss to Dallas with 29 points (9-14 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), two rebounds, two assists and three steals in 42 minutes.

Impact Sunday's game was the fourth time this season Brooks has registered three-plus steals, and the fifth time he's hit five or more three-point shots. Brooks' numbers are down from last season, but his 36.2 percent shooting from beyond the arc is his best since the 2018-19 season with the Grizzlies. Since the All-Star break, he is averaging 10.1 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.8 assists over 30.0 minutes per game.
