Rockets claim Deyonta Davis off waivers
Reinhold Matay-USA TODAY SportsAccording to Shams Charania, the Rockets claimed Deyonta Davis off waivers today.
The Hawks requested waivers for the third-year big man on Monday and would have gone into free agency if a team did not claim him.
Davis, 22, played in just nine games for the Hawks this season as a ten-day contract signee in March. Last offseason, Davis signed with the Warriors and played with the team’s G-League affiliate in Santa Cruz for most of the season.
The bulk of Davis’s career has been spent in Memphis and he was a regular contributor for the 2017-18 team, playing in 62 games.
