Player News
Houston Rockets assistant coach Gerald Green is unretiring and plans to sign in the G League.
There are a lot of opportunities these days with so many players in the protocols, so Green couldn't help himself. An NBA contract could be just around the corner once he gets his wind back in the G League, but this isn't something fantasy managers need to monitor for now.
The Rockets have waived Gerald Green.
Houston is hard-capped and Chris Clemons' (Achilles) contract is guaranteed, so Green falls victim to the roster squeeze here. He looked good this preseason, averaging 23 points on 65.2 TS%, so he might get a look from contending teams who need some bench scoring. He could also return to Houston at some point later this season, but for now, he'll be looking for a contract and is safe to ignore in all leagues.
Gerald Green has signed a one-year deal for the minimum with the Rockets.
It's a non-guaranteed deal for Green, so he will have to make the team during training camp. Green sat out the entire 2019-20 season with a broken foot but is out to prove that he still has something left in the tank at age 34.
Multiple teams were said to be interested in signing free agent Gerald Green prior to the NBA's return to Orlando, but Green decided not to play in the restart.
Green, who didn't play this season due to a foot injury, is expecting a child in August and decided not to sign with a team for family reasons. But there appears to be a pretty good chance he'll be on an NBA roster at the start of next season.
