Rockets forward Zhou Qi was ruled out of Tuesday’s preseason game in Houston against the Shanghai Sharks with a left knee sprain.
Zhou collided with Sharks forward Luis Scola late in the first quarter and was taken off the court in a wheelchair after trainers and staff helped him up.
The 7-foot-2 Zhou, who had played just four minutes before suffering the injury, was making his first preseason appearance.
A 2016 second-round draft pick out of the Chinese Basketball Association, Zhou made his NBA debut just less than a year ago, on Oct. 21, 2017, with the Rockets.
Zhou, 22, played in 18 games last season, averaging 6.9 minutes in those contests.
