Briante Weber‘s time with the Houston Rockets is officially over. The two-way contract player signed early on in the season was running out of NBA days quickly.
Not wanting to bring on a full contract, the Rockets decided to cut Weber and instead plan to sign another player to a two-way deal, Markel Brown.
Brown will likely take the role that Weber had this year. With James Harden coming back soon, though, we will have to wait and see what that role will be.
Shams Charania of Yahoo Sports was first on the news:
Sources: The Houston Rockets plan to release guard Briante Weber, who's on a two-way NBA contract, and plan to sign Markel Brown of G League's Oklahoma City on a two-way.
