Former Rockets center/forward Donatas Motiejunas could be getting close to a return to the court, and the Rockets might be about to face one last decision about his future with the team as the Brooklyn Nets prepare an offer sheet for the restricted free agent.
The Nets could sign Motiejunas to an offer sheet as soon as Friday, giving the Rockets three days to match or let him join the Nets more than 20 games into the season. The Rockets had put a Nov. 23 deadline on their final offer, believing his value would decrease after the date in which players signing as free agents could be traded this season.
