Gerald Green suffered a foot injury during the Houston Rockets' recent preseason win over the Toronto Raptors, and the 33-year-old was expected to miss a few months with a sprain. However, ESPN is reporting that the veteran is now set to miss the entire 2019-20 season after the injury turned out to be worse than first reported:

Key Houston Rockets reserve wing Gerald Green likely suffered a Lisfranc fracture in his left foot that would require season-ending surgery, league sources told ESPN.

Green has been a critical member of Mike D'Antoni's rotation over the past two seasons, averaging 10.2 points in 20.9 minutes per contest. Green's injury means that the Rockets could be forced to tap into the free agent market as the team is currently short on wing depth.
