Gerald Green reportedly has broken foot, could be out a few months

Gerald Green did not practice over the weekend with what was initially believed to be a sprained foot, but the Houston Rockets veteran may be dealing with something much more serious than that.

Green suffered a broken left foot during the preseason and is expected to be sidelined for up to three months, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Houston Rockets guard Gerald Green is believed to have suffered a broken left foot and could be sidelined a few months, league sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium. Green will have more opinions on his foot this week and be out indefinitely.

Green has been a key role player for the Rockets over the past two seasons, so his absence is noteworthy. The 33-year-old averaged 9.2 points while playing just over 20 minutes per game last year. Houston’s depth will be tested early in the year without him.
