Rockets' Donatas Motiejunas fails to show up for physical

A day after the Rockets matched an offer sheet to bring him back to the team, Donatas Motiejunas didn't show up for his physical Tuesday morning, according to sources close to the situation who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

On Monday, the Rockets opted to match a four-year, $37 million offer from the Brooklyn Nets. If Motiejunas fails to show up, the Rockets could return him to restricted free agent status, but he can not sign another offer sheet with the Nets.

In February, the Rockets traded Motiejunas to the Detroit Pistons, but the Pistons ruled that Motiejunas did not pass his physical 11 months after back surgery and voided the trade.
