Report: Rockets' Knight out indefinitely after left knee surgery

USA Today Sports

Brandon Knight's knee continues to cause him problems.

The Houston Rockets point guard recently underwent surgery on his left knee as a "clean up" procedure, league sources told The Athletic's Shams Charania.

The 26-year-old will reportedly "miss some time" as a result.

Houston acquired Knight and Marquese Chriss late last month from the Phoenix Suns in exchange for Ryan Anderson and De'Anthony Melton.

Knight missed the entire 2017-18 regular season with Phoenix after tearing his ACL while playing basketball during the offseason.

He averaged a career-low 11 points and 2.4 assists on 39.8 percent shooting from the field the year prior.

Knight is set to earn $14.6 million this season, which will jump to $15.6 million in 2019-20.
