The Houston Rockets have announced plans to cut ties with Carmelo Anthony after just 13 games together, forcing the former All-Star into an early season hunt for a new team willing to extend his N.B.A. career.
Before Houston’s nationally televised showdown Thursday night with the Golden State Warriors, Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey released a statement confirming that the club is going to “move on” from Anthony.
“After much internal discussion, the Rockets are parting ways with Carmelo Anthony and we are working toward a resolution,” Morey said in the statement.
