The Rockets have traded 10-time All-Star Carmelo Anthony to the Bulls on Monday, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. Anthony is not expected to play a game for the Bulls as he will be released and become a free agent if he clears waivers, according to Wojnarowski.

Anthony played in 10 games for Houston in 2018-19 before parting ways with the organization in November.

Anthony struggled to integrate into Houston's rotation and averaged just 13.4 points per game. He signed a one-year, $2.4 million deal with the Rockets in August.

The Syracuse product joined the Thunder before the 2017-18 season and following seven seasons with the Knicks.
