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.
