The Rockets will have Aaron Brooks on Sunday against the Kings for the first time in more than a month.

Brooks had been out since he landed on Manu Ginobili's foot Nov. 6 in San Antonio, spraining his ankle.

"I think you have to be a little bit cautious and make sure he feels good," coach Rick Adelman said of working Brooks back in.

"All of a sudden, we have a bunch of perimeter people. It changes everything. I think I'll work him back slowly if he can play these three games, see how he reacts, see how he plays."

Brooks will come off the bench as he works back into the rotation.
