It was announced this afternoon that the Houston Rockets have to decided to release forward Ryan Anderson.
Anderson played in limited action so far this season, seeing just 14 minutes combined on the year, and his release leaves the Rockets with an open roster spot, which they currently have no plans of filling. Anderson’s partially guaranteed deal leaves the team on the hook for $500,000.
There was some speculation Houston was keeping the final roster sport open in order to sign Chris Clemons to a full deal, but that thought process was shut down by The Athletic’s Kelly Iko.
