Report: Anthony Bennett to have surgery, not make the Houston Rockets roster

Former first overall pick Anthony Bennett has had stellar play in each of the last two seasons in the G-League as he’s averaged 13.2 points per game and shot 43.8 percent from three. This was encouraging for Bennett as he had been written off as being one of the biggest draft busts in the modern day history of the NBA. Bennett was able to land a training camp invite by the Houston Rockets, leaving Rockets fans wondering if he would be able to resurrect his NBA career in Houston.

The contract Bennett agreed to with the Rockets was a fully non-guaranteed deal, which was mutually beneficial for both Bennett and the Rockets.
