The Washington Wizards have really struggled this year, and John Wall‘s season ending achilles injury prompted Washington to become sellers at the trade deadline. They traded Markieff Morris to the Pelicans, who quickly cut him, giving the Houston Rockets another player to consider in the buyout market.
According to Kelly Iko of The Athletic, the Rockets are considering Morris and are closely watching his neck situation. Morris originally injured his neck in a game against the Los Angeles Lakers on Dec. 16 and he has been inactive since Dec. 28.
Daryl Morey recently told reporters that the Rockets will be active in the buyout market this year.
