Ronnie Brewer will miss his second consecutive game on Wednesday. He has a strained calf and this news should not affect the fantasy basketball world. Brewer is a few too many minutes past his prime and can't really score on his own.

Ronnie Brewer was signed by HOU on Friday November 1.

Ronnie Brewer's contract with the Rockets guarantees $100k, according to Mark Deeks on Twitter. $100k is a nice paycheck by most standards, but this is the NBA. The relatively small amount the Rockets guaranteed to Brewer shows that he is fighting for a spot on the team. Don't count on him to contribute to the steals and FG% categories as in his earlier days with the Jazz.

Ronnie Brewer is not a lock to make the Rockets' regular-season roster. He signed a partially-guaranteed two-year deal which will require him to fight for his job during training camp. "[The Rockets] play my style," Brewer said. "If I . . . play at a high level, defend at a high level and knock down shots when I have the opportunity, I feel like I can make this team."

The Rockets are close to a deal with unrestricted free agent Ronnie Brewer. The Rockets had a big summer with Dwight Howard coming to town, but they do lack some depth on the wing behind James Harden and Chandler Parsons. Brewer is capable of playing at a fast pace, so it's a nice fit for the team, as well. He's not worth drafting in any league.

Ronnie Brewer, who was seldom-used after being acquired from the Knicks, would be open to returning to the Thunder next season. Brewer, an unrestricted free agent, will likely get a look from a handful of teams shopping in the discount bin when free agency opens up. "I'm still very young and still have a lot of basketball left in me so if it's here or somewhere else I'll continue to play basketball," he said. "This is a great organization and (has) great players, great coaches, great fans. So hopefully I can continue to play here."

Ronnie Brewer made his debut for the Thunder on Wednesday and had five points, four rebounds, one assist, two steals and a 3-pointer in 12 minutes. He has no fantasy value, but owners of Kevin Martin have to hope he doesn't eat into his run. Martin had 14 points and two 3-pointers in just 18 minutes tonight, but the game was a blowout, so we're not overly concerned just yet.

Ronnie Brewer will not make his Thunder debut until Wednesday. He didn't practice on Saturday because he needed to have a physical exam, so Scott Brooks prefers to wait until he's had some time to learn OKC's schemes. Brooks said that Brewer may only have "one or two practices," but he doesn't think it will take long for Brewer to "blend in" with what the Thunder are doing.

Coach Scott Brooks says he expects Ronnie Brewer to be active by Wendesday's game against the Hornets. Brooks said he wants Brewer to practice before he plays, which he should have time to do Monday and Tuesday. Brewer will play a mainly defensive role and backup Thabo Sefolosha and has no fantasy value.

Ronnie Brewer is unlikely to play on Friday for the Thunder. Brewer has to undergo a physical after being traded to OKC, and the process may not be completed in time to debut with his new club on Friday.
