Rockets, DeMarcus Cousins to part ways

The Houston Rockets roster continues to make changes.

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Rockets will part ways with DeMarcus Cousins sometime in the next few days, just one day after guaranteeing his $2.3 million contract for the season.

The Houston Rockets and center DeMarcus Cousins are planning to part ways in coming days, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Houston wants to go smaller, younger in frontcourt when Christian Wood returns and this allows Cousins to find an opportunity elsewhere.

Fox 26’s Mark Berman says the team could still trade Cousins if a team is interested.
