19-year-old Spaniard hurt his left wrist. Although Garuba himself thought it was not a serious injury, Rockets head coach Stephen Silas admitted that it could require surgery.

"He fell," Silas said to the reporters. "I was talking to him about it. He was like, 'Yeah, I fell, and I didn't think it was that bad.' But it turns out it's pretty bad. He's going to be out for a while. There is some talk about him needing surgery."

In his rookie season, Garuba averages 1.3 points and 2.3 rebounds over 15 contests.
