Brewer (undisclosed) isn't playing in Monday's preseason game against the Pelicans,

Analysis:

Though Brewer was able to take part in Monday's morning shootaround, coach Kevin McHale elected to keep him out of a second straight preseason game. The Rockets haven't passed along word regarding the nature of Brewer's injury -- if there even is one -- so for the moment, it doesn't appear he's at risk of missing the team's regular-season opener.
