The Rockets released center DeMarcus Cousins on Tuesday, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania.
Cousins will still receive all of his one-year, $2.3 million deal after his contract was guaranteed on Feb. 19, per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. Cousins is now a free agent, able to sign with any team in the NBA.
It's been a difficult season for the four-time All-Star as he returned to the floor after tearing his ACL. Cousins is averaging a career-low 9.6 points per game this season, shooting just 37.6% from the field and 33.6% from three.
