Caleb McConnell News: Waived by Houston

McConnell signed with the Rockets earlier Friday but was waived shortly after, likely paving the way for him to join their G League affiliate, the Rio Grande Valley Vipers. The Rutgers product spent last season with the Hornets' G League team, the Greensboro Swarm, where he averaged 5.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.7 steals across 26 appearances.
