Bruno Fernando could return against Atlanta plus an intriguing matchup in the backcourt.
Houston Rockets center Bruno Fernando is expected to play against either Atlanta on Friday or Oklahoma City on Saturday.Standing at 6-foot-9 with an equally outsized personality, Bruno Fernando is hard to miss. Even while he’s sat out the Rockets’ last 15 games with left knee tendonitis, the center has been a vocal presence on the bench during games and practices, particularly when it comes to encouraging second-year big men Alperen Sengun and Usman Garuba.
Among the handful of Rockets players who were limited by soreness in Tuesday’s practice, only guard Eric Gordon returned to being a full participant on Wednesday in the team’s last pre-Thanksgiving practice. Guards Jalen Green and Josh Christopher were limited. Center Alperen Sengun did not practice.
Fernando started the first two games of the season at center with Sengun coming off the bench. Since then, Sengun has been the starter with Garuba spelling him in a high-energy second unit. In the season opener against the Hawks, Fernando shot 3-of-3 with seven points, nine rebounds and a career-high seven assists in 25 minutes. Sengun scored 15 points with nine rebounds in 22 minutes off the bench.The last time the Rockets played the Hawks marked the debut of Atlanta’s newly formed backcourt tandem of Trae Young and Dejounte Murray, who was traded from San Antonio during the offseason.
