According to sources, Thabo Sefolosha has decided to not travel with the team to Orlando to continue the season.
Sefolosha will surrender part of his contract earnings because his opt out is considered “unexcused.”
With Sefolosha no longer on the Orlando roster, a spot opened up for the team, paving the way to sign former Rocket Luc Mbah a Moute, per Shams Charania of The Athletic.
LMAM played a pivotal role on the Rockets’ 2018 squad that was one win away from a Finals berth, but injuries caught up to him as he was rather ineffective during the Western Conference Finals.
