Duke basketball product Matthew Hurt is hoping to find some NBA permanence.
After going undrafted in late July following two seasons as a Duke basketball player, Matthew Hurt looked to be in a relatively ideal situation to set in motion his pro career.
Until this week, that is.
In early August, the Houston Rockets signed the 6-foot-9, 235-pound stretch-four to a two-way contract. It meant — or so it seemed at the time — that Hurt would have the opportunity to continue honing his craft via valuable G League experience.
